On KCRW, Left, Right and Center, Tony Blankley tried to use the new trick of Valeri not being an active operative in the CIA by using Joe WIlson's Wolf Blitzer segment. Lawrence O'Donnell corrects Blankley by making the obvious point that Valeri Plame had to be an operative or else there would be no case:

LAWRENCE O'DONNELL:
Here’s what I think is definitive on this question. Patrick Fitzgerald has represented to the courts that he is pursuing a serious, national security, criminal violation. It seems to me in this grand jury, witness number one -- and Tony you’ve been a prosecutor, you know how they assemble cases -- witness number one would have been a CIA administrator who comes in and testifies about how Valerie Plame does indeed fit the law’s requirements. Because if witness number one doesn’t do that successfully for the prosecutor, there is absolutely no reason to call witness number two, because there is no crime to investigate.

Tony?


TONY BLANKLEY:
Yeah--well--I mean--that’s one way to approach it.

I'm looking for yesterday's Moneyline interview where Larry really spells out what's happening here. It's incredible stuff. I've tried looking on C & L and Dembloggers and nothing was posted. I then went to CNN and couldn't find either a video or transcript. Anyone know if this is posted somewhere? It's definitely worth the watch and read.

Cheers...

2. Yeah but the progressives need to call the nazis on lies

Yeah but progressive keep failing to counter the didtortion that Wilson claimed his wife wasn't clandestine at the time of the novak artcle, which is not true! Check MediaMatters.org

3. No One Better Than O'Donnell

And the truth will soon be known to all...undeniable and in a court of law.

Let them screetch and make total asses of themselves. Let them create so many words and look so out of control as to show the sane people what's really going on. Also, they're giving us so much rope for next year's elections right now, it's getting to be overwhelming.

Maybe you're falling for the distortion, but welcome to DU...there's a lot of great people keeping their eye very much on the ball here.

Come on along, the show is just about to begin.
