Congressional Committee Hears Testimony From Former Intelligence Officers

@ 12:48 PM (37 months, 15 days ago)

Former intelligence officials testified during a hearing co-chaired by Representatives Henry Waxman and Robert Wexler regarding the Valerie Plame case.

Specificially, the witnesses testified about the damage to national security when the identity of covert CIA operatives are leaked.

One of the witnesses, Larry Johnson, also appeared on the Al Franken show for a truly amazing and eye-opening interview. I was astounded as I listened to him explain that even as Valerie Plame's colleague, he didn't know her last name! He only knew her as "Valerie P." That's just how seriously they took their roles as covert operatives!

  1. She had the 'ceasing' arranged after she confirmed who she was in 'Vanity Fair.' Its an organized crime investigation of Plame. The former intelligence officials know this and are also under investigation.
