<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My understanding was that when Ms. Plame was on the
stand before congress the other day she was asked if she thought that she met
the criterion for being a covert agent under the Intelligence identities Act of
1982, she ruefully admitted that she did not know if she met that standard or
not. If she wasn't sure of her status under the act, how, exactly would Libby,
Rove, and Armitage? The fact that nobody has been charged with her 'outing'
belies the notion that a treasonous crime was committed in this
regard.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think that it's quite clear that there
was zero substance to the 'plamegate' incident and that it was just another
instance of the democratic's doing their best to make the current administration
look bad. And with the help of a liberal media, their mission was
accomplished. And what a monumental accomplishment it was. A minor player has
been convicted of having a poor memory and will doubtless be pardoned by the
Commander in Chief before he does so much as 10 minutes in jail. Ya'll should
ought to be proud.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you really feel that a good hanging would be
just the ticket to brighten up your dreary day, why don't you look to the NYT.
More secrets harmful to the USA have been leaked from that cesspool in the last
six months then from all the current administration members over the entirety of
their careers.</FONT></DIV>

<H3>White House to allow Rove, Miers to be interviewed in firings of U.S.
attorneys</H3>
<P>WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The White House will allow the president's top
political adviser, Karl Rove, and former White House counsel Harriet Miers to
be interviewed by congressional committees investigating how the firing of
several U.S. attorneys was handled, <FONT color=#0000ff><STRONG>but they will
<FONT size=5>not</FONT> testify under oath in the matter</STRONG></FONT>, Rep.
Chris Cannon said Tuesday.</P>
<P>The announcement came after current White House counsel Fred Fielding met
with members of the heads of the House and Senate Judiciary committees, who
had considered using subpoenas to force Rove, Miers and their two deputies to
reveal what they knew about the reasons behind the firings of at least seven
U.S. attorneys.</P>
<P>But Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters after the meeting with
Fielding that the offer from the White House is incomplete: "We would be able
to interview the four people we requested ... <FONT color=#0000ff><STRONG>but
only in private, not under oath and with no transcript</STRONG></FONT>."</P>
<P>Schumer said lawmakers would try to get tougher requirements for the
interviews. And he and House Judiciary Committee head Rep. John Conyers both
said their committees will move forward to approve the use of subpoenas to get
White House officials to testify under oath.</P>
<P>That would not mean that subpoenas would be issued immediately, only that
the committees would be able to use them. (Posted 3:16 p.m.)</P></DIV>
