The following is a comment made here by my constant correspondent Rider. It got tagged as spam for some reason, but I made a copy before I did something that caused it to be deleted. Hooray for small cautions.
Finally you admit she was classified. The IIPA applies. Fitzgerald could not determine whether he had an indictable IIPA case because Libby lied and obfuscated. But the IIPA applies nevertheless.
The wife-sent-him canard requires us to believe the Wilsons were not only fiends but psychic fiends. Here’s what the serial liar Mark Levin wrote in NRO in July, 2005 (”Valerie’s No Victim”):
“Why Wilson? This is the real scandal. Plame lobbied repeatedly for her husband, and she knew full well that he was hostile to the war in Iraq and the administration’s foreign policy. She had to know his politics — and there can no longer be any pretense about him being a nonpartisan diplomat who was merely doing his job. By experience and temperament, Wilson was the wrong man to send to Niger. Plame affirmatively stepped into what she knew might become a very public political controversy, given her husband’s predilections (and her own) about that “crazy” report of yellowcake uranium.
In fact, Wilson was so concerned that his wife’s aggressive and clandestine efforts in securing his assignment would become known that he lied about who sent him to Niger to cover her (and his) tracks.”
There you have it. These psychic fiends knew a full year in advance that Bush was going to lie his ass off on national TV in the State of the Union Address about African yellowcake. So this scheming, conniving bitch arranged to have her hubby sent to Niger so he could blow the whole thing wide open in a NYT op ed and embarrass and humiliate the President of the United States by catching him in his ignorance and lies. What a despicable misuse of psychic powers!
From Cheney on down, Libby, Hadley, and their army of winged monkeys in the media and blogosphere, to use your expression, lying craphounds all.
