"Lame Plame Case Dismissed"

Bwhahaha!
:)

Finally!

Americas most covert spy and Greatful Dead wannabe husband have no shame, and are directly responsible for all the crap heaped upon them.

Good riddance to both of them.

Dismissed by the same activist judge who believes the people have no right to know the inner workings of our government and would not force Cheney to release his meeting minutes with the oil executives. How convenient for Rove that he put such judges on the bench. He knew he would need a judge or two in his pocket.

Justice still has an appeals process. The Repugs have yet to completely destroy the Justice Department.

I guess it is time for a nude photo shoot in Playboy for Plame. Or maybe Flynt will hook her up.

I assume it is way past anyone's dinner time :)

I will look forward to that photo shoot. I am glad turds like novak, armitage, rove, fleischer & libby ended this piece of tail's CIA career.

A great case for a loser pays law.

A great case for a loser pays law.

Planejane,

You should read the decision,

The proper inquiry in this Court’s view, then, is whether talking to the press in order to discredit a public critic of the Executive Branch and its policies is within the scope of defendants’ duties as federal employees.

The alleged means by which defendants chose to rebut Mr. Wilson’s comments and attack his credibility may have been highly unsavory. But there can be no serious dispute that the act of rebutting public criticism, such as that levied by Mr. Wilson against the Bush Administration’s handling of prewar foreign intelligence, by speaking with members of the press is within the scope of defendants’ duties as high-level Executive Branch officials. (emphasis added)Thus, the alleged tortious conduct, namely the disclosure of Mrs. Wilson’s status as a covert operative, was incidental to the kind of conduct that defendants were employed to perform.

In sum, the Court finds that plaintiffs have not pled sufficient facts that, if true, would rebut the Westfall certification filed in this action. Hence, neither further discovery nor an evidentiary hearing on the scope-of-employment issue is warranted, and the United States is substituted as the sole defendant for the claim of public disclosure of private facts. Furthermore, plaintiffs have not contested defendants’ assertions that they have not exhausted their administrative remedies as required by the FTCA.

Ever notice how the Agenda Media have managed to avoid assigning any responsibility to Plame or Wilson for what happened?

Who decided to lie in a NYT article about what he found in Niger? Not Rove, not Libby, but Wilson.

It's a good guess that Plame knew Joe was planning to plant disinformation in the Times. Did she stop him? Doesn't appear that she even tried.

So here are these two geniuses, at least one of whom is supposedly trusted with national security, complicit in the creation of a falsehood which is designed to create a firestorm within the White House, worded to imply that Cheney was reponsible for sending Wilson in the first place---and neither one of them is smart enough to realize that once this hits, SOMEONE is going to wonder just who DID pick Joe for the job.

Does anyone buy this? I never did. NO ONE is that stupid.

You see, true covert agents like to stay under the radar. They don't like anything that calls attention to themselves. Their spouses tend to support this approach and go along with it. But here we have a couple which is overtly courting publicity, and more than that, is purposely creating a fake scandal which is GUARANTEED to lead back to Plame and her involvement in the decision to send Wilson to Niger. Not Cheney. Plame.

But no one has asked the obvious question: Why?

If it really was just shortsightedness on the part of the Wilsons, if they really were surprised at the assumption in the media that Cheney had tried to blindside Bush, all Joe had to do was call a press conference to say "Nope, Cheney and the White House had nothing to do with it, it came from the State Department". Did he? No. Even when the trail was obviously gong to lead directly to Val, Joe didn't say a word. On the contrary, I read a transcript of a TV show in which everyone on the show talked about Cheney backstabbing Bush and Joe just kept his mouth shut.

Why? Why wasn't he worried about his "covert" wife being discovered, about her role being made public?

Now we factor in the two backstories.

Backstory 1: Lots of people in the Beltway know Plame works in some capacity for the CIA. She is supposedly an analyst, restricted to non-covert work both by her outing by Aldrich Ames and by her marriage to a diplomat. Even the DC press corps knows she does "something" at the CIA---no big deal, they employ thousands of non-secret employees.

Backstory 2: Plame has made political contributions in her own name, which are a matter of public record, and on those same records listed her employer as the supposedly secret CIA cover story company for which she acts as a secretary. So now anyone doing an internet search for Plame or under her married name is going to find that she is claiming to work for someone other than the CIA. Serious mistake. Big stupid mistake. So who DOES she work for? The CIA, or this other company? (Which, by the way, has not kept its records current so is clealy a fake company, a front. Wonder whose job it was to keep that all up to date?)

So now we are up to date. Plame has basically blown her own cover, though this is not publicly known. Maybe her CIA bosses know, maybe they haven't found out yet.

Wouldn't it be convenient to play CYA by planting this fake story by Joe, leading people to inquire into who really chose him to go to Niger, and then to wait till some White House official got tired of the claim that it was Cheney checking up on Bush and said no, it wasn't Cheney, it was Wilson's own wife who picked him for the job?

Now all of a sudden it is someone in the WHITE HOUSE who blew the cover story, not some bimbo who couldn't keep her cover story straight.

How convenient.

Now an over the hill never-too-successful diplomat and a CIA employee who is already trying to negotiate a lateral move into the State Department (why?) are no longer on the downhill slide. Now they are celebrities, playing up the victimhood thing that plays so well on the Left, stars for causing trouble for the White House, feted in Vanity Fair, with a big book deal. Only in America.

And as a bonus, the office of the Vice President is thrown into chaos as its top guy is targeted, in lieu of Rove, who was really the target of choice. There is all sorts of dirt to be thrown, most of it based on the hysterical claims of AGENT OUTED FAMILY PUT IN DANGER CAREER RUINED and so on.

What a lot of bang for the buck!

All you need now to make it perfect is a special prosecutor who is such a media whore that he will mount a bogus "investigation" agsinst someone he knows is innocent, in hopes of getting a couple of conflicting memories on which to mount a prosecution of something, pretty much anything.

Only in America.

Well, only with our Agenda Media and rabid Left Wing element fanning the feeble flames and adding lots of lies and innuendoo to keep it all going.
