Prosecutor Winding Up CIA Leak Probe
If the AP had a slogan for its news department, it might read something like: Have agenda, will misrepresent. It certainly wouldn’t be we report, you decide. Here’s the latest example of the Pravda of the West’s “reporting”:
Fitzgerald may want to establish Plame had carefully protected her CIA identity as part of the process of determining whether the disclosure of her name to the news media hurt national interests.

The timing of Wilson’s criticism was devastating for the Bush White House, which was struggling to come to grips with the fact that no weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq.
Well.
Only in the Pravda or in the Agenda Media could statements like this appear in print. At this late date, only an idiot from Mars doesn’t know that Valerie Plame’s identity wasn’t kept secret. If it wasn’t secret, it was when ‘Whistleblower Joe’ Wilson ended that with his NY Times op-ed. Cliff Kincaid tells us why ‘Whistleblower Joe’ Wilson’s NY Times op-ed ended her perceived secrecy in this RealClearPolics op-ed:
As I have noted previously, Herbert Romerstein, a former professional staff member of the House Intelligence Committee, says that Plame’s involvement in sending her husband on the CIA mission to Africa meant that when Wilson went public about it, foreign intelligence services would investigate all of his family members for possible CIA connections. Those intelligence services would not simply assume that he went on the mission because he was a former diplomat. They would investigate his wife. And that would inevitably lead to unraveling the facts about Valerie Wilson, or Valerie Plame, and her involvement with the CIA. Romerstein says that Plame’s role in arranging the mission for her husband is solid proof that she was not concerned about having her “cover” blown because she was not truly under cover.
There you have it. This episode in American history might be called the smoking gun that didn’t smoke. Or they might call it the ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ Scandal. Mr. Romerstein lays it out perfectly. “Plame’s role in arranging the mission for her husband is solid proof that she was not concerned about having her “cover” blown because she was not truly under cover.”
In other words, simple informed logic told Fitzgerald that Valerie wasn’t covert or concerned about her identity. That explains why the Pravda West/Agenda Media hasn’t figured it out. Simple informed logic isn’t their forte. Their only forte is advncincg the Agenda.
Then there’s the hilarious claim that “The timing of Wilson’s criticism was devastating for the Bush White House.” Yeah right. Those Bushies were quaking in their boots because Wilson’s bluster was so easy to discredit that my teenage cousin could do it without blinking an eyelash. That’ll get those Bushies quaking in their boots pert near everytime.
