Tell the Truth, Are You a Liar? (A thread of questions)

[ignatzmouse]

Some proposed press questions that should be asked of the POTUS. Feel free to add your own...


-- When you previously stated that you would fire anyone who had leaked classified information, did you already know that Karl Rove had leaked or "confirmed" the identity of Valerie Plame to various members of the press?

-- At the time of its publication, did you discuss the ramifications of Ambassador Wilson's op-ed piece with Karl Rove? Were you informed of and did you approve the decision to publicly discredit Ambassador Wilson as a response?

-- Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney's chief-of-staff, has also been cited as confirming or revealing Valerie Plame as a CIA operative to the media. At what point was the Vice President aware that such actions were taking place?

-- Was fake reporter "Jeff Gannon" one of the reporters to whom administration officials revealed the identity of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative?

-- At the time of Ambassador Wilson's op-ed piece were you aware that the Niger "yellow-cake" intelligence was wrong? If Ambassador Wilson knew the intelligence was wrong and had reported it, why were you still using the information as a centerpiece for justifying a war with Iraq?

-- Citing the Downing Street memo, was the effort to discredit Wilson, a cover-up for the "fixed" yellow-cake intelligence?

-- As we now know, Ambassador Wilson was correct on the faulty intelligence that cited Iraq's seeking of yellow-cake uranium from Iraq. Do you think you owe Ambassador Wilson an apology?

-- Was the State Dept. the source of information for the classified status of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative, and was this source John Bolton?

-- Is defeating and discrediting political opponents more important to your administration than national security?
