So McClellan has said the bush administration lied about outing a CIA agent

[still_one]

In an excerpt from his forthcoming book, McClellan recounts the 2003 news conference in which he told reporters that aides Karl Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby were "not involved" in the leak involving operative Valerie Plame.

"There was one problem. It was not true," McClellan writes, according to a brief excerpt released Tuesday. "I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president's chief of staff and the president himself

Sounds to me that outing a convert CIA agent, and then trying to cover it up is a lie. Hmmmm, maybe the democratic leadership in the house can do THEIR JOB FOR ONCE

[blm]

1. Except the entire press corps knew the WH was lying at the time and PROTECTED the lie

for an entire 17 months before an election where many of them were touting Bush's integrity and straightshooting manner.

The newsmedia is culpable - they know it - so there will be no media fireworks on this one. They were coopted at the time and they ALL know it.

Dan rather admitted that the newsmedia NEEDED Bush to stay in office for favorable legislation they would get from him.

2. 1. Fitzgerald will ignore this or participate in a cover up or

2. Congress will start an investigation and subpoena McClellan1
3. Bush will instruct McClellan to ignore the subpoena.

and that will be that.

There are NO laws that touch Bush and his fellow criminals.

3. is he ready to testify to that fact

then what is Fitz waiting for bring him in
Sounds like Scottie is ticked at being used like Colin

Lie to the public and have your reputation destroyed
meanwhile Rove leaves out the back door free as a bird

and they can if they decide to investigate

11. Who cares whether he is ready to testify, Congress should call him in /nt

4. hey Valerie, repeat after me: KA-CHING

Well if we can't get true justice, may the Wilsons find economic justice in the civil suit and hit them in the only place they feel pain: their numerous bank accounts.

[Disturbed]

5. In the meantime Libby gets a job at a think tank making

around $100K a year. Rove gets a job at News-weak. Cheney is fomenting War On Iran. When will
Congress actually do something?

6. I wish I had the answer to that question

In the meantime, if this book really does reveal what we already expect to be true about Plame's outing, then there will be several Congress people receiving a copy of it from me along with flagged pages and highlighted sentences to make it as simple as possible.

[Disturbed]

7. Scottie is merely saying what most here already knew.

He is still lying though. He said that he "unknowingly" forwarded lies. Come on! Anybody here believe that?

[still_one]

12. That is not the point. The point is that he is saying he was lied to by the bush administration

Lied about what? That the bush administration exposed a covert agent. This is in writing. It is the DUTY of Congress to call for an investigation if nothing else

This is the first time that I can remember where someone from the bush administration has come out and said that they lied about Valarie Plame

9. fitzgerald`s grand jury testimonies can be subpoenaed

if the house or senate committees feel it would contain information needed to pursue their investigations. of course they have to ask the attorney general for the transcripts
