1. They are off the chain over there

- First, they are advancing the theory that it's Fitzgerald's office leaking this information, which there is absolutely no evidence of.
- And despite all evidence to the contrary, they are still saying she was a "desk jockey" and apparently well known in the CIA.


Mercy, they have no clue.

2. is "nerve-wracked"

how one would characterize the mood here?

[madeline_con]

7. What about there...

WHERE ARE THE F##KING INDICTMENTS!!!!

9. Here's my response

Here is the text of the response I posted to the Freeper who said Plame was a desk jockey:

Since you seem to be so in the dark on the Valerie Plame case, and her status in the CIA, I am more than happy to enlighten you, friend.

Valerie Plame was NOT a desk jockey.

She was a covert CIA operative with unofficial cover.

Do you know what that means?

It means that she were to go overseas somewhere, as part of her job, and she got kidnapped or taken hostage, the United States would not provide any official help to rescue her.

There are some CIA operatives who actually have "cover," so if they were to go overseas and get kidnapped, the U.S. would provide resources to help rescue them.

Because of Valerie Plame's status as someone with unofficial cover, the United States would not have validated her identity and tried to rescue her.

She put her life on the line for her country, to work on issues of weapons of mass destruction, and her government repaid her by outing her for purely political reasons.

18. Was that #110, by any chance?

13. I just caught G. Gordon Liddy....

spouting the same "She wasn't undercover at the time" crap on Hannity and Colmes. Like G. Gordon Liddy is such a creadible source to be speaking about treason. :eyes:

5. Talk about a river in Africa!

This in response to the text in italics:

To: oceanview
get ready for a rough week.

I don't believe Cheney ever testified before the grand jury.
Since we know that there was no crime committed in the first place, unless Cheney committed some violation of process with Fitzgerald, then there is nothing he can be charged with.

6. "Eat A Salad And Relax Hippy, You Got Nothing"

Man they are truly muttering nonsense at this point...what the hell is THAT supposed to mean? Then another Freep complements his "writing!' LOL!! THEY ARE CRACKING ME UP TODAY...

8. har dee har

yuk yuk

[journalist3072]

10. I just registered and posted on Free Republic, and now I've been banned?

I was just about to post a reply to another freeper, when I got the error message "Your posting privilege has been revoked."

That was fast!

[deadparrot]

11. The truth frightens them.

:)

[journalist3072]

12. Yes it does

I've been told that I'm a troll and I've come to the wrong place.

And that Valerie Plame was outed by Aldrige Aimes years ago and there was no way they were going to send her anywhere overseas.

[KharmaTrain]

16. Outted By Aldrich Ames? There's A New One...

Ahhh...there's the Clenis, too. Since Ames gave up Plame's identity in the 90's...of course during Clinton's watch (even though Ames did most of his dirty work during the Raygun and Poppy Bush years)...she really wasn't an agent? So she remained on the CIA payroll for all those years as damaged goods? Someone's gotta rescrambled this one for me. :crazy:

[journalist3072]

17. I know, right..

If she was truly outed by Aldrige Aimes, she would not have remained a covert operative.

Their talking points defy and logic.

[ToolTex]

19. They have your eyeballs scanned in their database.

They don't have to wait to read what you are going to write- they know what you are thinking.

[journalist3072]

20. ROFL!!!!! eom

[emulatorloo]

14. So bizarre that they think these leaks are from Fitz - Rove Libby lawyers

are never even considered by these freeps as the source of these leaks, when the reporters make it pretty clear (to anybody w a brain) that this stuff is coming from defence lawyers.

[journalist3072]

15. This was only my 2nd time visiting Freeperville

But what amazes me about them is how they don't live in the reality-based community.

All the lies they are spewing over there have been de-bunked already.

They are still saying that Joe Wilson claimed Cheney sent him to Niger. They are saying Valerie Plame was a desk jokey.

They really aren't very well educated, are they? Can they even read?

The other thing that strikes me, is how they instantly revoked my posting priviledges once I responded to their lies.

Here on DU, we don't do that to our Republican trolls.

We know we have the truth on our side. And we don't mind a healthy, honest, debate. They want to ban anyone who doesn't agree with them.

[walldude]

21. Actually we do do that to Freeper trolls, the difference is

their "opinions" are WRONG!!!! Plus if they bothered to learn grammar or even how to use the spell check button they might last a little longer. Maybe thats why you got nailed. Did you puncuate and spell everything right? Thats a dead giveaway. :toast:

I truly hope the extent of the damage her outing caused is revealed after the indictments come...

[journalist3072]

23. The Damage Assessment Report

Unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever know the extent of the damage her outing has caused.

After a CIA operative's identity has been compromised, the CIA usually does what is called a Damage Assessment Report, which basically outline the damage caused to the organization by the outing of one of its covert operatives.

The Damage Assessment Reports are normally not made public, because of the sensitivity of the information.

When Larry Johnson (former colleauge of Valerie Plame's) was on Majority Report about 2 weeks ago, he said he was on Capitol Hill, talking with a Senator who happened to have the CIA Damage Assessment Report that was done after the Aldrige Aimes incident. The Senator told Larry Johnson "I can't share any of this with you, but it would blow your mind."

[walldude]

24. Yeah I kinda figured.. it's wishful thinking

it sure would shut the freepers up though....

[journalist3072]

25. Exactly....

Well, we already know one damage: that "energy company" she worked for, that served as the front for her covert work, had to fold after she was outed. They no longer exist because of her outing.

But as far as knowing if anyone was killed as a result of their association with her, we'll never know that.

[Ioo]

22. I love, "She was not NOC" & "No Crime, So No Case"

Wow, are they cluless to the fact that the CIA asked for this?
