Our Truth TALKNIG POINTS on Plame
Edited on Wed Jul-13-05 10:31 AM by jsamuel
Reporters have to stop repeating Political Spin as if it is "one side of the case".

Reporters need to deal with facts and the facts say that what the Republicans are spinning is off base, wrong, and distracting from the real case.

1. Karl Rove told Cooper that Wilson's wife was CIA dealing with WMD's.
2. Karl Rove told Chris Mattews that Valerie Plame was "fair game".
3. Whether Wilson was right or wrong has nothing to do with the case. (but he was right, the Niger docs were fakes)
4. Bush said he would fire anyone that had anything to do with the leak.
5. Rove at the very least had something to do with the leak.
6. Rove has not been fired.
7. The leak came of the political motivation (MOTIVE) to attack Wilson for hurting the "White House Iraqi Group's" case for war.
8. This is a big deal, no matter how you look at it. One of the US's networks that looked for WMD's in terrorists' hands has been destroyed.
9. John Kerry is not currently running for president and any mention of him in regards to this case is a dead giveaway of spin.

Anything else is distracting from the truth, not "the other side of the case". If it were the other side they could say, "but Rove didn't do it."

Questions:
Who is Valerie Plame protecting?
Who else in the WH contributed to the outing?
Is the WH covering for Rove?
Why does the WH refuse to answer questions about the case, yet it sends out talking points to all Republicans dealing only with this case?

Lets face it reporters, they are trying to dupe you.
