The Plame affair and the CIA leak investigation1 are the common terms for an ongoing United States political scandal which has origins in the Iraq disarmament crisis of late 2002, and concerned the identification of Valerie Plame, wife of retired ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, as a CIA "operative on weapons of mass destruction" in a July 2003 column by conservative pundit Robert Novak.

Novak's column was published only eight days after the publication of a New York Times op-ed written by Wilson, which was highly critical of the Bush administration's use of "unreliable" "yellowcake" documents as part of its rationale for the Iraq War.

Wilson claims that Novak had conspired with Bush administration sources to expose his wife's identity as political retribution for his earlier criticism. Divulging the identity of an undercover CIA agent is, in some circumstances, a federal crime in the United States.

The Plame Affair includes the subsequent Special Counsel investigation by appointee Patrick Fitzgerald into the actions of Bush administration officials —including Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, Ari Fleischer, and unknown others— regarding their knowledge of the leak of Plame's identity. In addition to Novak, six other journalists are reported to have known Plame's identity before the Novak column was published, including Judith Miller of The New York Times, who spent 85 days in jail for failing to divulge the identity of her confidential administration source to a grand jury.





SCOOTER LIBBY AND VICE PRESIDENT CHENNEY'S INVOLVEMENT


Scooter via e-mail Vice President Dick Chenney knew, but what if....
The idea was to get back at Valerie Plames husbands comment on the Iraqi War, that there were not weapons..........

VANUNU TOLD THE TRUTH AND THE US KNEW ALL

Vanunu, a scientist from Isreal was imprisoned for 18 yrs going public about the fact that Isreal was the only place in the middle east with nulcear weapons. That Iraqi and or no other neighorboring country other than the world super powers had thse devices.... So this US Government had these facts before they had gone into Iraqi, and they knew that there were none nothing there at all. Vanunu can not leave Isreal still because he came forth on this issue.







Conyers and Skelton Write to Rumsfeld Submitted by davidswanson on Mon, 2005-10-17 21:19. Congress The Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld Secretary Department of Defense 1000 Defense Pentagon Washington, DC 20301-1000

Dear Mr. Secretary:

We write about reports that journalists who were embedded with U.S. forces in Iraq were given security clearances. In her recounting of discussions with Scooter Libby, the Vice President's Chief of Staff, New York Times reporter Judith Miller, disclosed her belief that she had a security clearance. She specifically wrote, "[d]uring the Iraq war, the Pentagon had given me clearance to see secret information as part of my assignment 'embedded' with a special military unit hunting for unconventional weapons."1 She also noted she was not certain whether her clearance was in existence at the time she met with Mr. Libby.2

In order to better understand the scope of the program under which journalists received security clearances, we would appreciate your prompt response to the following questions:

1. Since March 20, 2003, the date of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, have any journalists been provided with a security clearance or with access to classified information? If so, please explain. At what level were these clearances granted? Were background investigations conducted on these journalists and, if so, in what manner? Of journalists receiving security clearances or access to classified information, how many were embedded with U.S. forces in Iraq?

II. Who approved the policy of providing journalists with security clearances or with access to classified information? What was the operational reason for granting security clearances to journalists? How does this policy comport with the requirement that classified information be disseminated on a "need to know" basis?

III. Did each journalist sign documentation delineating their obligation to protect classified information as is required by employees of the federal government? Were journalists required to sign any additional non-disclosure agreements by the Department of the Defense or the military department to which they were assigned? If so, please provide a copy of such an agreement.

IV. Did journalists maintain their clearances after completing participation in the embed program? Are journalists with a security clearance or other access notified upon the revocation or termination of such clearance or access? When does such revocation or termination occur? Have any journalists who are or have been embedded with forces in Iraq had their security clearances revoked or otherwise terminated?

V. Since March 20, 2003, what journalists were provided with security clearances or other access to classified information? How long did each clearance or access period last?

Please reply through the Judiciary Committee Minority Office, 2142 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC 20515 (tel: 202-225-6504) and the Armed Services Committee Minority Office, 2340 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC 20515 (tel: 202-226-9007).

Sincerely,
John Conyers, Jr., Ranking Member, Committee on the Judiciary
Ike Skelton, Ranking Member, Committee on Armed Services

The Power of the Press IT'S NOT COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE BUT INSIDE THE WHITEHOUSE BUT ONE HAND WORKS WITHIN A NETWORK, WHICH IS TIED BACK INTO THE VICE PRSIDENT OFFICE.



Karl Rove, name and influence is power, he moves the wheels of the major press. So no story came out of the Whitehouse without the approval of Rove, and his links back to the power house within ......

In Congressmen Conyers letter the blame is being redirected onto the press itself! but the fact the information came out of the White House - this is an act of treason.... Rove, Scooter, and all the others cause the death of CIA agents by they're acts which is covered within the Constitution ......


My Comments to the Conyers letter.

Please note, I had met Congressmen Conyers during the days of Chicago's First Black Mayors Election in Illinois. I was one of the major players in getting together liberals on Lakeshore Drive and the Northside's 42 ward for Mayor to be Harold Washington's campaign.

Congressmen Conyers came to my apartment building in McClurg Court in support of this campaign.... My father Dan Burley, writer and Jouralist knew him too, as being hub of the Black Press and with ties back into the white press then....

The issue here is that Congressmen we knew of your good work....

But again, you need our support as we need you to act on the issue of Treason.....

The fact is not of the outside press its the fact that Karl Rove, used his position and was told to do so to release this information for two reasons:

One to harm Joseph Wilson and his wife position with the Middle East.
Two to get rid of the real press who are reporting the truth... you know this........

Its not in who they are giving clearance to, its about killing to press and stopping they're right to freedom to report the facts....

This is a real conspiracy and I say to all call Congressmen Conyers and tell him we need the facts not lies out and we need to clean the Whitehouse of those who are involved in Acts of Treason against the People of the US and the World.
