Is the KEY to Rove in the hidden Stories?

[TWiley]

I have heard that others were murdered due to the disclosure that Valerie Plame was a covert CIA operative. Also, the link to the phony WMD charges the bushtapo used to justify the war in Iraq makes their bogus intentions clear.

I have no investigative experience and little time, but I have a strong suspicion that the key to keeping this story in the news is to find and expose those "hidden costs". This could be the best defense against the republican strategy of slander and minimize.

If I were a journalist, I do believe I would find something and then AWFULIZE it.

1. Is Plame (and her work) the Key to Plamegate

Some people say that Valerie Plame was working on an internal investigation of the CIA, and was going to uncover and expose the "fixing of the Intelligence" that we read about in the DSM.

If that was the case, then the REAL reason she was outed by Rove was not MERE VENGEANCE against Wilson, but to prevent Bush's phony justification for taking us to war from being exposed. If Plame had not been exposed, there might be 2,000 more US soldiers alive today, and $200 Billion more dollars in our treasury, and we would not be trapped in an intractable quagmire.

Smearing Joe Wilson was just a bonus, and furnished a plausible "cover story" with a much more mundane, much less insidious and criminal motive.

Let us remember, and often remind the American People (for example in 30 second TV spots and/or Democratic Talking Points) of the words of George H.W. Bush: "Even though I'm a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious of traitors." -- George Herbert Walker Bush, 1999

2. Need a link to "some people say"

Some people say is not a valid reference. We DO know she was working on tracking WMDs and had been for some 20 years. If anyone knew where they were, she would.
Read the paper "American Judas" and it will give you a feeling of what happened.

3. "Some People Say" was my sneer at "Fox News"

It was used deliberately, with that express purpose in mind as I typed the post.

4. The crime becomes more evident

when the damage or the implications of their actions are known. This story is in the center of much of the BFEE's crimes. As you pointed out, it is one link to the deliberate deceptions used by the bushtapo to justify their war in Iraq.

If the spider web was more clear and well known, I believe it would bring the end to this administration.
