AntiWar: Valerie Plame's CIA Company Was Outed Even Earlier Than We Knew-- Along With US Nuclear Secrets
posted 02-21-08
Anyone who cares whether we fight the war on Terror with the least loss of life around the world instead of using it as a chance to invade other nations to 'secure' resources (like the bloody Hirohito in WW2) for favored campaign contributors will be outraged.
Government officials have given away nuclear secrets and outed CIA personnel and organizations to be exposed to keep their deeds hidden.
This happened years ago. Who's been caught, punished, or even stopped?
Years ago we liberals learned of an FBI translator who knew that other FBI translators were using their positions to warn terrorists about investigations.
Right wingers poo pooed us.
But now the lady has told the London Times the even more alarming information than that which she had told us so many years ago (I think it was 2003 when I first heard of her). (She did warn us there was worse things going on than what she was legally permitted to say.)
And liberals are not the only ones shocked and angry this time.
See AntiWar "None Dare Call It Treason". I used AntiWar to help me understand the convoluted "Queens" English or what ever of the Times
