Update: Patrick Fitzgerald Explains Why The Secret-Prison Leak Is Not A Crime

JoeInDC44 managed to transcribe a little-noticed press conference:

Thanks for point out this recent outing of covert CIA ops. I would like to use a baseball analogy, if I could.
Outing of the CIA secret jails and airplanes is like when the catcher tries to catch a pitch thrown by the pitcher, except that the umpire was trying to tie his shoes and was distracted during the pitch. The umpire also lost his contact lens and can no longer clearly see the bound of the imaginary strike zone, leaving only the penumbra of the swing of the batter's bat, only there was no batter because he had previously called time out.

As I was saying, the umpire was also crying because he had an onion tied to his belt, which was the fashion at that time. So, the umpire convenes a grand jury and calls the pitcher to testify on the signal that the catcher called.

The umpire then sends the pitcher to pound me in the ass prison for getting it wrong, the signal the catcher gave.

There, I hope that cleared things up

This story proves that there are rouge elements within the CIA that are actively subverting the administration. Will we see criminal referrals to the justice department about this, how about the NYTimes outing a CIA airline, or how about John Kerry outing a CIA operative on the floor of the senate, I am holding my breath.

As to the Plame nonsense. I poste this in another thread..

This whole affair is a CYA move by the CIA nothing more. Their are only two possabilitis and they don't reflect highly on the CIA.
1) The CIA gives the POTUS intelligence that points to Iraqs continuing research and procurement of WMD, remember Tenet: It's a slam dunk. This intelligence proves to be incorrect. So that means this intelligence was wrong before the war and going back to at least 1995. You had promenent Dems. and officials all saying that Saddam was a grave and growing threat. Anyone remeber the N0-Fly zones, sanctions, weapons inspectors, etc. Why were they neccesary? Beacause everyone believed Saddam was a threat based on, you guessed it, CIA reports.
2) If this intelligence was correct from 1995 to right beforce the war, then the CIA missed weapons transfers out of Iraq, probably to Syria with the help of the Russians.

Either way the CIA is a corrupt and useless organization. They have been wrong on so many levels. Pakistan going nuclear, Chinese technology theft, 1993 WTC bombing, 9/11, etc.

I think it is time the CIA got a top-to-bottom
overhaul!!!!

Is there some solice in the idea that outing a CIA Agent is acceptable for the White House, because liberals are worse ?

At times I think the republican party has been hijacked by retards.
