POSTED: 3:53 pm EDT August 11, 2004

CAIRO, Egypt -- An Islamic Web site has carried a videotape that supposedly shows militants in Iraq beheading a man identified as a CIA agent.

A U.S. official said the CIA has accounted for all employees and that no one is missing.

The U.S official said the investigators are trying to determine if the tape is authentic.

The site showed footage of eight militants surrounding a seated man, who wore a sign around his neck with his photograph and the letters CIA along with the word "visitor."

I'd say the CIA agent is a goner... :crazy:

2. Looks like it's the CIA vs Bush...

Bush is double dealing agents, giving them bad information, getting the disloyalists killed.

3. I wonder if Valerie Plame "knew" this person

or had contact with them in any capacity.. If so, this could be a factor in the Plame case.. A death of an agent that was somehow linked would certainly be lain at the doorstop of the WH and Novak.

5. Yep, yep, and yep!

I don't doubt this was one of Plame's operatives. I see it as just the beginning...Once Bush has Goss confirmed, he intends to clean house. This will be the norm until all thats left are Bush loyalists!
