Plame in a nutshell....(correct where wrong)
Advertisements [?]
1. Bush lied to Congress (a felony) in the SOTU. He knew the Niger Uranium Claim was false, and that the aluminum tubes were for conventional, not nuclear weapons.

2. Bush started the War in Iraq, continuing to lie to the American people.

3. Joe Wilson revealed Bush's lies about Saddam seeking uranium from Africa.

4. Bush goes bat-shit crazy. He decides that Wilson has to be discredited. Bush authorized plan to discredit Wilson. Bush "leaks" via Cheney to Libby to Miller--- PART of the NIE that tends to support the aluminum tubes argument, all the time knowing what the rest of the report said that solidly refuted that argument.

5. Cheney (probably in conversation with Bush), who asked for Wilson to go to Africa in the first place decides to out Plame as being "Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame" as a CIA operative. Rove and somebody else tells Novak, who writes the article outing Plame.

6. George Tenet gets really pissed that the major spy operation (Brewster & Jennings) dealing with WMD in IRAN gets shut down because of the leak, putting his agents' lives in grave danger. He asks the Justice Department to Investigate.

7. Justice Dept. names Patrick Fitzgerald to investigate. Libby, Rove and others obstruct justice and lie to cover up all of the administration's violations of the Espionage Act. Libby is indicted, and the investigation continues.

8. Through a recent filing by Patrick Fitzgerald we now learn that the leaker of the classified documents that Bush was "looking for to fire," was Bush, himself.

9. In the meantime, the illegal war in Iraq claims 2300+ troops lives, and more than 16,000 American casulties, some of the troops permanently disabled. 100,000+ innocent Iraqi citizens are killed, and Bush authorizes, against the Geneva and Hague Conventions the torture of prisoners (most of whom turned out to be innocent), maiming many and killing more than 100.

10. Republicans, failing in their oversight duties, continue to kiss Bush's ass!

Did I miss anything, or get any of it out of order?
