<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ...With that you get...<br>The real story, from Citizen Spook. Here's part of it:<br><br>INTELLIGENCE SPECULATION<br><br>Before I get to the cold hard facts of the law, I want to engage in some speculation about the Bush administration's motivations for breaking the law.<br><br>The question presented:<br><br>It's important to note that it wasn't just Valerie Place who was outed by Novak. Plame's entire network was also outed when Novak named Brewster Jennings & Associates, a CIA front company, as the place she worked. The focus of Plame's CIA work was weapons of mass destruction. Her network was responsible for gathering information to help defend our nation against annihilation by such weapons.<br><br>WMD is the reason Bush took us to war with Iraq, the backbone of his foreign policy, the mantra more than 1800 of the USA's finest soldiers have met their death for. It is that term, "weapons of mass destruction" that might actually be the calling card of the grim reaper, shouold he come via court order for the men and women of the Bush crime family.<br><br>Don't buy into the mantra that Plame was outed only as a retaliation upon her husband, Joe Wilson. The Bush crime family wouldn't put their necks on the chopping block for Treason just to smear Wilson, especially in light of the fact that they knew Wilson's Niger report was accurate. The risk reward pay off is ridiculously insufficient.<br><br>The Bush cabal are not a stupid bunch. You can ridicule Bush, Cheney and the gang all you like, but they're running our country, making billions through Haliburton and the Carlisle group, getting away with torture in open view, and rewriting the Constitution while flipping the middle finger to the main stream media who take that finger, lick it and deposit it in their anatomy on a daily basis...with a smile on their faces.<br><br>The only logical reason the intelligent Bush administration would expose themselves to prosecution under the controlling laws of the United States Code by outing Valerie Plame, Brewster Jennings and the CIA, is that they probably had no other choice. It was either expose a major CIA operation to the public at large through co-conspirator, Robert Novak, or allow Plame's CIA division to complete their WMD investigations.<br><br>The Bush syndicate must have come to the conclusion that they had a better chance of spinning the outing of Plame to petty retaliation for Wilson's debunking of the Niger document fraud, than they had of surviving an investigation by the CIA of their crimes against the USA and humanity at large, the fixing of intelligence to support a preemptive war and possibly the facilitation of future black op patsies.<br><br>Until recently, the Bush spin machine has flawlessly controlled public attention by concentrating it, as to the law, on the insignificant Intelligence Identities Protection Act, and, as to their motivations, on the Wilson smear campaign. This has been easy spin as their gambit was centered in confidence that the media would play along.<br><br>What they could not spin, if the CIA was on to them, was mountains of evidence Plame and her network might have uncovered, evidence which may have been implicating the Bush syndicate in Treason.<br><br>Certainly, the State Department and the White House staff must have considered that outing a CIA agent of any level or status, covert or non covert, who was working on weapons of mass destruction, "in a time of war", might lead to that work being compromised and that such actions on their part might expose them to the provisions of 18 USC 793 and 794, among other laws.<br><br>And that is exactly what happened.<br><br><br>The rest is <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://citizenspook.blogspot.com/" target="top">here</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> at
