(Corrected/Retracted:) Kerry Reveals Name of CIA Operative

Right in an open Senate hearing on John Bolton's confirmation.

Anyone think the media will find this story as sexy as the Valerie Plame non-story?

Don't expect any charges or any official investigation. The Constitution says that no Congressmen can be held accountable by law for any statement made while in Congress.

But just because there won't be an official outside criminal investigation doesn't mean that Congress itself can't censure him.

This will be the first and last time you ever hear about this. If it can't be used against Bush, then revealing the name of a covert CIA agent just doesn't matter.

Unrelated But Really Cool Fact About Nanotechnology Update: Did you know the human body is itself comprised entirely of organic nanotech?

We call them "cells." They're "Nature's Little Nanotech Bots."

Tell your friends! You will amaze and delight them. Or maybe provoke them into beating your about the head and shoulders with a pool-cue.

Either way, you'll be the center of attention. And that's all that really matters.

Correction/Retraction: It appears another one slipped by the "multiple layers of fact-checking" about which our MSM is so justifiably proud.

The man's name has been mentioned in the media four previous times.

I hate to be the one, but Malkin knocked this story down already. Seems his name wasn't exactly a secret anymore, anyway.

From what I have read, neither was Valerie Plame's.

Thanks, Jason. Loose shit. I made the mistake of trusting AP.

Posted by: ace on April 12, 2005 02:24 PM

So, let me get this straight...

If a Democrat drops a CIA agents name, the MSM and the left wing blogosphere ignore the story right up to the point where it's been debunked by right wing blogs?

Compared to an (alleged) Republican dropping a name, in which case they want impeachment, a criminal prosecution, it's splashed on the front page for months, and now despite it reaching the status of non-story, is still worthy of resurrection as evidence of how evil Chimpy McBushitler is?

Posted by: Delphiguy on April 12, 2005 02:25 PM

If I actually had something better to do than sit and listen to my ass grow while endlessly hopping from one blog to the next, I probably wouldn't have known that either.

But I don't, so I did.

You're lucky The Sitemeter Santa didn't choose THIS post to bestow a little of his Christmas cheer.

In some measure of fairness, as the article notes, so did Lugar, which is kind of worse when you're actually chairing the meeting rather than just sniping from the margins. Makes me somewhat embarassed to have worked for the guy.
