Plame to testify	Itsdb	03/09/07
We've spent millions of dollars to get Rove/Cheney/Bush in an investigation with no conspiracy, no coverup, no administration leak, no charges filed, and now Plame is going to testify before a congressional panel on how the White House handled the disclosure of her 'secret' identity as a 'covert' agent. Why in God's name do we need a congressional investigation now? Will they wonder why we wasted that much time, money and reputations on an investigation in which the prosecutor knew 3 months ahead of time the 'leaker' was a fierce bureaucratic opponent of the White House? Or why the judge refused to allow evidence of "the fallibility of the witness whose testimony was most decisive," namely Russert's statement "under oath that he did not know that one may not be accompanied by a lawyer to a grand jury hearing." The defense had tapes showing Russert saying on television three times that lawyers are barred from grand jury proceedings. What important light is Plame going to shed on this event? I'm betting her "victimhood" will be played out for every ounce of sympathy that can be mustered. Shouldn't this whole affair be put rest now?

None of those concerns are relevent. The only goal is to bring down the president at whatever cost and whatever tactics that it takes. After all, the Republicans were the ones who "shamed" President Clinton who was entirely innocent. ....Didn't he lie to the court like Libby? How many years in prison did he get? "Equal Justice"???
