Outing Brewster Jennings

by Gordon Prather

According to Bob Woodward, we're not to worry:

"When the story comes out I'm quite confident we're going to find out that it started kind of as gossip, as chatter. And that somebody learned that Joe Wilson's wife had worked at the CIA and helped him get this job going to Niger to see if there was an Iraq/Niger uranium deal. And, there's a lot of innocent actions in all of this."

Oh yeah?

Well, let's scroll back to the New York Times column by Nicolas Kristof of June 12, 2003, that triggered panic among the neo-crazies:

"Officials now claim that the CIA inexplicably did not report back to the White House with this envoy's findings and reasoning, or with an assessment of its own that the information was false.

"I hear something different.

tutu Woodward...I'm sure that opting a CIA operative is water cooler gossip. Plame worked for Brewster Jennings.How would anyone, except one with top secret clearance, know other wise?

3. "I'm quite confident" & "a lot of innocent actions" -

These are the words of an insider, not a journalist.

5. Pensito does a nice overview...

Outting Plame and losing BJA are major blows to our national security. That's treason. That makes Rove, Libby, Cheney and Bush traitors.

Lost Asset: The True Cost of the White House CIA Leak

Posted July 18th, 2005 at 8:39 am by Jon

Brewster Jennings & Associates was the cover organization to which CIA spy Valerie Plame Wilson was assigned. Its mission was deadly serious: tracking human intelligence on black market transfers of weapons of mass destruction, particularly nuclear materials.

There is no way to know the depth and the seriousness of what was lost when senior White House operatives chose to reveal the secret mission of Brewster Jennings and Associates in order to punish a political enemy.

One likely scenario is that the revelation tipped black marketers in nuclear materials that they were being monitored, thus helping them to escape scrutiny.

As a result, for all we know, a nuclear “dirty bomb” is being built right now - and its builders are thanking President Bush and his henchman for helping them escape detection.

So remember, when you hear the GOP trying to change the topic of this scandal to Joe Wilson, what they don’t want you to think about is the fact that by uncovering Brewster Jennings & Associates, Karl Rove, Ari Fleischer, Scooter Libbey or others aided and abetted the very terrorists the Bush Administration says it is fighting in its bogus “war”on terror.

Thanks for the heads-up on the AntiWar article, G_j! Lots of new stuff there. Wayne Madsen has a lot to say on the subject: His sources report BJA had stopped the BFEE from importing WMDs into Iraq, post-illegal invasion. So...

"One likely scenario is that the revelation tipped black marketers in nuclear materials that they were being monitored, thus helping them to escape scrutiny."
