Larry, why must we, the American people, suffer such fools? I hope your corrspondence makes it into the letters to the editor column for the Star.

Larry:
Keep up the good work. I’m amazed that the liars are bothering to dialog with you in an open forum, where you can clearly disprove them.

Also – forgive me here, but this is the first time I have heard Valerie Plame’s actual JOB POSITION detailed (as Ops Director for Iraq Task Force? Holy carp, that smells fishy! One thing that really hampers the cause, on the left, is lack of good documentation and proof on exactly what Ms. Plame’s status was, and what the Damage Assessment findings were. These bits of information can’t be made public – it’s understandable. But maybe Fitzgerald can step up to the plate here and say SOMETHING – because at this point, he must realize that these goons are directly attacking HIS credibility. He should stand up and defend it. I wish he would, anyway. It seems to me that more harm than good is coming from keeping the public from knowing the facts, and the CIA should really re-assess what they can make public, if for no other reason, than to deter future political attacks on their operatives.

Good work Larry!
Had to put in my two cents on the comments..

Dear Mr. McClanahan,

Nathan Hale was caught and executed for being a spy in 1776. He was undercover and covert when he was caught by the British. He was disguised as a Dutch schoolteacher behind enemy lines. Despite being a captain in the Continental Army, he was tried, convicted and hung as a spy and as an unlawful combatant. The twenty one year old Nathan Hale was reputed to have stated – prior to his execution – “I only regret that I have but one life to give to my country.”
My regret sir, is that there are some that call themselves Americans today that condone the outing of a CIA officer who was undercover, covert and whose employment was classified information. This was a concerted effort by the WH to discredit Joe Wilson’s Op/Ed and as Karl Rove said – referring to Wilson – “his wife is fair game.” And as Fitzgerald said, as a result of Libby’s obstruction – there is a cloud over the vice president’s office.

Al Capone was convicted of tax evasion, does that mean he was neither a gangster nor a racketeer? Your opinion piece is a slap in the face to every intelligence officer who has served honorably since Nathan Hale. Shameful.

Good one, Larry.

Always have wondered why there more of an outcry to find the source of the forged documents.

I still fantasize about a
legitimate government re-emerging in this country, and the legal system of that
legitimate government putting certain Very High Officials on trial for treason for the betrayla of Agent Plame’s mission and people. And I fantasize these persons being found guilty, sentenced to death, and executed by lethal injection.
Of course such fantasies have not a chance of being made real as long as we live
under the current illegitimate regime. And impeaching its current strongmen would be the first step to removing that regime. Now why is Nancy Pelosi so committed to keeping Cheney/bush in office? Why, in other words, is Pelosi so firmly committed to preserving Regime Illegitimacy and cementing it into permanent place? Who does Pelosi really work for?

I ‘d say that pretty much sums it up Larry. what in here doesn’t he get?????
why do they keep repeating the lie when it has been proven to be that so long ago that even the Bush administration doesn’t bother with the lie anymore?

Party before country… it’s a sad world.
