CNN

I hope you people pay attention closely.

This is how corrupt the democrats are. When they can influence a CIA agent and her husband into giving false evidence about a known threat, this has gone too far.

We need to keep the democrats from playing politics with National Security!

There no longer is any "constitutional" law in America. Bush/Cheney have destroyed America and filled our "justice" system with "cronies" who are just as corrupt as they are.

CNN has now black balled me, who do I send my check to so that every post can make the board like-texas trial dog, mike,mike txand mike texas who are of coarse the same guy. Shall I just sigh it McCain camp.

I don't know how but the Bush-Cheney-Rove-etal group should be held accountable and pay a penalty for using their offices (and America's resources) for their own private agenda. Somehow a strong message should be sent that America really does have a conscience, that future administrations shouldn't consider like behavior and, for the American people that there is justice and hope.

Jan,

Go see a doctor. You are crazy.

Shocker.

Easy Money

Why are so many people out for blood money.

Sue, Sue, Sue.

The legal profession is cashing in big time on it.

Valerie Plame Wilson worked a desk in the Langley suburb of McLean, VA. And calling her an "undercover agent" or saying that she has an "intelligence job" is clearly an oxymoron.., according to the courts.

But calling them political hacks..., well now, that's reality.

Simply bought and paid for by The Bush administration. What a shame that this sub human is going to be allowed to get by with whatever he wishes, war crimes,treason and many other crimes against humanity. It will work here on earth but not in the here after.

Some of you people are just plain nuts. The issues with the CIA are LONG standing through multiple administrations and the facts around the Plame matter prove it. That her husband was sent to Niger (on a job for which he was not qualified) also shows how badly the CIA, NOT the administration, handled it. Also, Bush came clean on the error and still won the election, so stop your whining already.

Furthermore, Ms. Plame was, we now KNOW, outed by an opponet of the war and not Cheney or at the oders of Bush – who, by the way has the ABSOLUTE right and authority as CinC to out ANYONE or everyone any time he likes (that power rests in him alone, not the greater admin.). If Bush had done it all he had to do was say so – legally he need not give a reason why as that is under his executive authority.

Plame did hold sensitive positions and her name WAS leaked but her identity was compromised to a MUCH greater extent (especially in Africa, where she did much of her work) when she, on her own, chose to pose for photos in a major magazine. So, frankly, I don't care about her case and could care less that she lost it.

This is our American justice system at work people.

of course the court would decide that Valerie
They are all likely in the back pockets of the crook in the white house!!!!
you will get justice one day Valerie for the wrong inflicted on you
Just not by this pack of crooks

What is she sueing for? Because someone mistakenly spoke about her job that anyone, including her husband and herself, spoke about freely? Old news, Val. Give it a rest.

Where is the justice for Valerie Plame?

Just looking to make a few bucks Ms. Plame?

Disgraceful.

Sadly, as the comments here are evidence, the democrats did their job by lying to the American people for their own political benefit once again!

Here come the impeachment goons.

Where is Ken Starr when we really need him...
No complaints from the GOP for wasting well over $50,000,000 in taxpayer money for a lawsuit that was thrown out a few years back. What would $50,000,000 be today, adjusted for inflation?

TOO BAD......... BUSH/CHENEY/ROVE/LIBBY should ALL be tried for TREASON which is the crime when you out an active CIA agent!

IS there no justice?

First of all, she was not and office worker, she worked undercover as a CIA agent tracking nuclear proliferation. Secondly, why shouldn't she sue for money? These people cost her, and her husband, their livelihood. And finally, how can any of you Bushys still be supporting this admin.? Let me break it down for you like your mom obviously never did when you were little. If little Cheney jumps off a bridge that doesn't mean you have to jump off a bridge too.....that just means little Cheany is an idiot.....you don't want to be an idiot too, do you?

Valerie Plame has a right to sue those government officials responsible for divulging her name and those who worked behind the scenes to bring her down.

The courts are biased toward the Bush Administration................go to civil court and sue them for damages. After all your life was destroyed by their desire to keep you in your place and to reduce criticism.

Where are those 18M women who claim to support Clinton, why aren't you in support of Valerie Plame.......................she deserves your support more than Senator Clinton.

Her book was heavily censored, but most important is the foreign contacts she had, how many of them have been neutralized, or worst are “dead by now” So people who is going to cooperate with a operative, when not even the president can be trusted.

Bob

plame was not an operative. she was an analyst which is a glorified clerk at langley.
she told her neighbors where she worked.

This administration smells foul at every corner you could imagine. It's not strange to anyone that Plame's case was dismissed.

Mike in TX your comments are sad on every single place you put them. Try thinking about the article or did you even read it or understand it's background. I'm sure you would be so happy if you were a CIA agent and the president's staff outted you to the public. At least make an attempt at using your brain.

Know why the Bush regime REALLY blew Plame's cover?

Her shadow agency stopped a shipment of weapons through Turkey intended to be planted in Iraq AFTER U.S. troops were already on the ground. The weapons were suddenly going to be "discovered," justifying Bushco's reasons for attacking Iraq in the first place.

Rove refusing to testify, and Bush will not be tried for war crimes. Just proves that out government is above the law!!! Don't give up the fight till uyou bring these criminals to justice!!!!

Everyone in Washington knew she worked for the CIA, she was not under cover, and it was Mr. Armitage who gave her name to novac. Too bad the media won't print the facts.

There is a surprise... There is no justice in this country anymore. I bet this WAR CRIMINAL doesn't get held accountable and this country continues on its downward slide due to our inability or unwillingness to hold public officials accountable for their crimes.

We have a dictatorship under Bush and this administration and he goes to China and dictates there also. It is hard to imagine that America would come to this. Bush has been the worst thing that could happen to America.

What do you expect? The "Justice" Department is just another branch of the US government broken by Bush's cronies...

January 2009 is just around the corner: then the orchestra will play an entirely different tune.....

She was adminstrative, not an operative. Intelligence job? Please....

Were we at war or not?

That's the only question that's important here -the issues in question opened up a new front in the war – many lives have been lost and many billions of dollars have been spent – and this woman doesn't have the right to sue over her job being lost?

When Bush came into office he said he was going to restore integrity to the white house. Did he?

The Bush administration is coming to an end – soon. Then as a private citizen he may be sued and perhaps even indicted only time will tell.

They may as well give it up. No court (in their right mind) are going to let them sue someone from the Bush administration. Give it up and cut your losses.

The Bush supremacy reigns all high and mighty. The King of our country continues to smash the people of his Kingdom to the curb.

Sad it is. Sad indeed.

The Republican administration is rot from the top down. If anything the Plame case pulled back the curtains to reveal another level of abuse and deceit in this Bush administration.

All the more reason to elect a Democrat as President.

US District Judge John Bates is a Bush appointee. Surprising?

Enough of this injustice. Democrats 2008

Yet another example of the Republican Party as the American Taliban. Enjoy your rights while you have them folks.

The Bush administration out one of our own agents, Scooter Libbey gets a pardon and the agent gets screwed. This is the same kind of thing you'll get if McBush gets in. Just wait and see.

Smug, self-righteous bastards. The worst government and/or justice that money has bought. I am unable to fathom a punishment suitable for this administration. We will be decades repairing what Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld have done. Why not just clsoe the courts until they are gone for all the good they do.

Now I would vote for her for President. Bet slick Willie Bill Clinton is wishing ole big hips Hillary ever looked this good.

The Justice Department and the Courts have been subverted into pawns of the administration. George Bush has succeeded in undermining the Constitutional concept of separate but equal branches of government serving as checks and balances on each other. As long as this administration is in power, don't expect justice to be served or accountability to be required.

Why would you not know they would deny it. The judicial system belongs to the Bush-Cheney reign of terror. This is a disgrace on America. People should be standing up and screaming for the Attorney General to do his job. HE NEEDS TO ARREST BUSH, CHENEY, AND NOVAK FOR THE TRAITORS THEY ARE>

Why is she still trying to sue all of these people???

It is a well known fact that Richard Armitage was the one who did it.

Oh, I get get it , MONEY and Armitage doesn't have any.

The writer from Albuquerque should probably read something besides the sports pages before making such a statement. Clearly, the administration violated major rule and policy by orchestrating the divulging of the name and location of an IC operative. Plain and simple and documented. However, as others have noted, the courts will not sanction this administration for anything. It is frightening that so many still do not see how the rule of law has been so trampled over the past eight years with little or no consequences. We, as a nation and as a people, truly need to be about regaining control of government.

Are these the 'values' that garnered so many votes in 2004? And to think, Hillary voters wholeheartedly support a continuation of such policies for the purpose of veiling their own prejudices in honor of their Queen.

Valerie Plame has every right to have a court hearing after she was outed as a CIA official. This is just one more example of how the Bush-Cheney administration has complete control over our Justice Dept. and over our Supreme Court! Never before have we had such corruption in our White House! I can't wait until they are out. If they were Democrats, they would have already been impeached. Go Valerie! The country is with you.

This is a real tragedy, because Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Yoo, Libby, and all the rest of those corrupt, manipulative liars and war criminals SHOULD be sued, indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced!

probably bush bought appointees.

When is she going to sue her husband? Why is it OK for him to have travelled for years among the Cocktail Party Circuit, introducing Ms. Plame as his "CIA wife" or his "spy wife" or his "spook wife."

yep, leave it to the federal courts to cover up more bush/cheney/rove scandals.

did you honestly anything would come of this?

Once again the regime that promised "accountability" evades it with smug impunity.

Another right forcibly taken away from us by our President. Another policy of Communism enforced by our tyrannic Republican party and threat to the well being of citizens of America.

The McCain campaing will carry forward 95% of Bush's policies to endanger our citizens and our fellow country men by systematically removing all of our constitutional rights.

Vote Obama or live in a dictatorship.

Obvioous that all this hoha is just another attempt to sue and make millions. She's an office worker not a clandestine agent. Put her in the ranks of the lady who sued Mcdonalds because her coffee was hot

Valeria and Joe need to crawl back under the rock them came from.

Of course they dido. The Court had no balls. All arfraid of the Big Bad Bush!
