<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well Wayne, this is becoming embarrassing. Perhaps
you should hang it up, take a little nap and try again another day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For starters why would I consider any thing from
wikipedia to be the final word on anything? A site where the content can be
altered by pretty much anyone with an opinion, a point of view, and some
time on their hands (someone much like yourself) would hardly be the most
definitive source for anyone's "reality" check.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also considering that you, yourself, choose this
particular article, I think that it's extremely telling that nowhere in the
conclusions of the afore mentioned piece did the eight democrats and seven
republicans (Hagel & Snowe hardly count as republicans) find any indication
of wrong doing by the current administration. It should go without saying that
there is no mention of the actual topic we had been discussing, Valerie
Plame.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now that we are actually back to the original topic
at hand, allow me to reiterate. A janitor at the CIA is not a covert operative.
A security guard at the CIA is not a covert operative. An analyst at the CIA is
not a covert operative. After hearing Ms. Plame testify to congress, seeing the
piece in Vanity Fair, watching her on CNN's Larry King, and listening to
her idiot husband blowviate at length in various forums, it seems likely to
me that what Ms. Plame really did at the agency was polish. Apples, brass,
knobs, and her own reputation and sense of self-worth, and only one of those
things did she do covertly.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wayne, you certainly are a hoot. it would seem
that when I post I must account for my every thought and opinion. I must
provide my source, make sure it's ideologically pure, and include exact
quotes in perfect context to support my every stray thought. You, on the other
hand, have free reign. For example:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><FONT face=Verdana size=3>Was the outing of
Plame as payback for her husband correctly pointing out that the
administration's view of the Iraq/Africa nuclear connection was clearly wrong,
if not a deliberate lie, a fine, a honest, ethical act by the
administration or a despicably treacherous, if not childish one?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><FONT face=Verdana
size=3></FONT> </DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Incorrect in so many different ways, not the
least of which would be your unique, bordering on superhuman ability to look
into the mind of another and deduce their motivations and emotions. Also where
are the appropriate series of cites and complete quotes which would give
this idiot paragraph so much as a shred of veracity?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Its clear to me that you are falling back on the
fine old tactic of framing any discussion in your own terms, setting up
foolish parameters for others to meet (even when you, yourself don't) and when
they don't have the patience to indulge you in your silly game, you crow of
your 'victory' like a banty rooster and castigate your opponent as being your
lesser. Well here's a hot news flash for ya, Florence, I'm not overly
concerned with winning your respect. Quite the contrary, should I ever suspect
that I am in danger of gaining it I will immediately rethink my
positions as I'm certain that I will have made a terrible mistake in my
thinking or lack thereof.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I consider this homework assignment complete and
the instructor a doddering ideologue. I assign myself a C- as its hard to
work up much enthusiasm to respond to an hidebound,
superannuated partisan hack.</FONT></DIV>
