The Leak That Kills

With only a few days left to toss around uninformed theories, here’s the latest Plame speculation which not only seems highly plausible to me, but further underscores the gravity of this scandal. Could Patrick Fitzgerald have evidence that the outing of Valerie Plame and her dummy company, Brewster, Jennings, & Associates, led to the murders of at least one CIA agent? Could that anonymous star in the CIA’s Book of Honor be the secret behind the eight classified pages in a court filing earlier this year? With phrases like “harmful to national security” and “gravity of the suspected crime” used by the judge who read those pages, we may be looking at something huge. If evidence that this leak caused serious harm to our country comes out in the indictments, well, let’s just say “criminalizing politics” will be the least of the Bush Administration’s worries.

  2. Considering Fitzgeralds taking off point relative to watergate or whitewater, i think the gravity is obvious.

  3. Will there be real justice though? Or will it be that luke warm kind that only slightly takes care of the problem and everyone forgets about it within a month.

    I really do not understand how people are so blind to these serious problems inside our government. I guess it stems from people like Britney Spears and her quote about how we should not question what the President does. Do so many people have that sort of mindset?

  4. Obviously, this is all speculation, but the known dates don’t rule it out. Look at the names above and below the anonymous star. According to CIA press releases, Helge P. Boes was killed on February 5, 2003, while William Carson and Christopher Mueller were killed on October 25, 2003. Novak’s article burning Valerie Plame was published on July 14, 2003.
