So we're supposed to think the Plame leak was an accident when everything

[FormerRepublican]

...else was a well coordinated smear authorized by Bush? When Plame was leaked to multiple reporters by multiple WH aides? But it was just an accident? Please - it strains credulity. Every finger is pointing to Bush giving the OK to out Plame.

Why might he have wanted to do this? Well, there's the lack of Iraq WMD to cover up. Then there's the A. Q. Kahn network to consider. There are rumors that Saudi Arabia is working on a nuke program and were also on the recieving end of A. Q. Kahn's network. Could Bush have outted Plame to keep the Saudi nuke program quiet as payback for his hand holding, kiss on the lips pals?

1. Then why didn't they just say so in the first place

It's the coverup that screws these jerks time and again

2. Even if was an accident....it's still Treason...

Daddy * said it was even Treason....I am curious about his thoughts considering he ran the CIA for years....there is no way he can justify and support this..

Plame was onto something and they had to shut her up...what better way then to destroy her and her network....

It's Treason....

3. Did he accidently let

Miller go to prison to cover up his accidental outing of plame?

Nice guy. :sarcasm:

4. If we survive this mess, the investigation may very well

prove exactly as you predict, or something very close.

5. It does seem like bush* is the leaker but I've got a different take

I think it was cheney* who told scooter that bush* said it was OK, even though bush* was never consulted. That way they could leave the twit* to do his, "I hate all the leakin'" crap. The problem is now scooter has dropped the dime on bush*.

On the Al Franken show they played a clip of bush* and one of those quotes, where he* says something like, "This town has too many leakers, theres leaks in uh, the Executive branch, Legislative branch, uh....." So bush* HAS admitted it before since the Exective Branch is only him* and fucking cheney*! he* must've been told at that point that cheney* gave scooter the go ahead and said bush* said it was cool, so he knew cheney* was the fucker who leaked on our National Security.
