"though that designation was not specifically attached to Plame's name and did not describe her status as covert,"She wasn't covert - she was just an office flunky at Langley.

hoser:>"though that designation was not specifically attached to Plame's name and did not describe her status as covert,"She wasn't covert - she was just an office flunky at Langley.So why did the CIA request the investigation then?

They already know who leaked her name. They knew before Fitzgerald even began his investigation. Hint: it wasn't anyone at the White House. Richard Armitage. More poo flung at the wall by the Left just hoping to see what sticks.

Everyone know who she was as many have said before. She wasn't covert when Robert Gates when he was the CIA director. I don't see any fault in this. The administration has done alot of stupid and bad s**t, this isn't one of them.

@ GL JonesThe reason the Fitzgerald didnt bring charges about the Covert status is because Scooter lied and threw "dirt in his eyes". OR dont you remember that at all. Also, if Plame lied I expect the Republicans to proclaim that she committed perjury. They wont because Hayden DIRECTOR OF THE CIA told them she was covert.So, Fitzgerald, Plame, Hayden and the CIA are all lying because they hate Bush? How convient

The CIA is partisan? Ashcroft who recused himself is partisan for letting it continue? Fitzgerald is partisan? 2 Grand Juries are partisan?Thats alot of ppl to dismiss just to believe the ppl involved in wrongdoing

If you watch the hearing according to Knodell's testimony --Everyone who new about the leak had a responsibility to report it according to white house regulations. When Knodell knew about it, it was his responsibility to initiate an internal investigation regardless of who reported to him--yet he did not. Just because Fitzgerald was investigating, he was not relieved of that responsibility.

Why would they investigate it? It was completely intentional on their part.That would be like Bin Laden investigating 9-11.

Exactly. Plame was not "covert" no matter what she says. Thus, there could be no crime.Period.Since there was no crime, there should have been no investigation. No investigation, no thousand questions until some two people gave answers that disagreed.The whole thing is a non-story. Majoring in the minors.Typical liberal crap...fiddling while Rome burns.We're in the midst of a historic clash of civilizations and the libs whine about Valerie Plame.

IT WAS NOT A CRIME. This is undisputed fact. It's only disputed by people with no clue as to legal matters. The prosecutor for "Scooter" Libby could not convict him for anything but perjury and obstructing justice because he didn't commit a crime by "leaking" the name of a NON-CONVERT agent. This is fact and History will document it as such. There's no room for argument (unless you bring in some undiscovered detail but I highly doubt you've got something that hasn't been blown to smithereens a thousand times already by the finest legal minds in the country!).
