1. Nonsense.
2. Doesn't matter, leaks are leaks no matter who gave what to whom.
3. Irrelevant to Bush's statement.
Nonsense? She was not undercover, had not been undercover within the time frame required under the law. where do you see a leak of classified information?

Covert spys walking day after day into what the whole world know is spy headquarters? lol What was her cover? CIA agent?? lol

So, it appears you are saying several things. First, you are saying the CIA is lying about her status. Second, you are saying that any group or individual with whom Plame might have dealt with overseas had a shadow agent in the US, following her around to see if she was driving to the CIA. Do you figure every person within every organization overseas has a person sitting at the CIA gate checking every CIA employee to see if they are an agent? What, do they have bleachers set up for the thousands of foreign agents? Or maybe there is an enormous hedge they are all hiding in with their binoculars? Maybe the different groups share a bus for following each CIA employee around?

The fact that she went to work at CIA headquarters is hardly an opinion. :wave:

So, you are saying that the CIA will never have an employee who reports daily to the headquarters go overseas and, with cover, meet with anyone or try to get information? The world is a pretty complicated place. It'd be pretty easy for me to fly to another country and, with cover pretend to be someone else, then come back and just be myself again.

Also - lets not forget that there was no crime in "leaking" her name. She was not undercover nor had she served undercover in the requisite period of time.
What? Yes, she was, and yes she did.

The CIA themselves said Plame was covert....
http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/070529_Unclassified_Plame_employement.pdf
"At the time of the initial unauthorized disclosure in the media of Ms. Wilson's employment relationship with the CIA on 14 July 2003, Ms. Wilson was a covert CIA employee for who the CIA was taking affirmative measures to conceal her intelligence relationship to the United States."

Even if Libby had said Plame worked for the CIA, she didn't meet criteria for the law protecting covert agents.
Protection only goes for covert agents operating overseas. (She hadn't been living overseas for 5 years.)
This is false. Here's the Intelligence Identities Protect Act of 1982. She was covert and she was protected under this Act. And, not that it matters, she travelled overseas seven times between January 2002 and July 2003.

Also, the leak of her name also exposed a front company of the CIA, Brewster-Jennings & Associates, and leaked the names of other covert agents working under that "company."

Exposing her, and subsequently also the employees of the front company, was a crime. Maybe some of you should actually read about this case instead of listening to FauxNews.

Hate to bring common sense into the convo but bush said it is likely someone in the admin 'leaked' her name. A 'leak' cant happen with open information. It would be like me complaining that someone leaked the info i dont support the iraq war.
he said it was POSSIBLE that someone leaked . . . .
