Report: Plame Was Working on Iran When Outed

Remember Valerie Plame Wilson? Well, she was apparently working on Iran when she was outed as a CIA agent by Robert Novak, and the outing allegedly damaged America’s ability to track Iran’s nuclear ambitions.


Raw Story:

On Chris Matthews’ Hardball Monday evening, just moments ago, MSNBC correspondent David Shuster confirmed what RAW STORY first reported in February: that outed CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson was working on Iran at the time she was outed.

RAW STORY’s Larisa Alexandrovna broke the story earlier this year, which went unnoticed by the mainstream media.

According to current and former intelligence officials, Plame Wilson, who worked on the clandestine side of the CIA in the Directorate of Operations as a non-official cover (NOC) officer, was part of an operation tracking distribution and acquisition of weapons of mass destruction technology to and from Iran.

What do you know, our president outed Valerie Phlame,  thereby compromising our Intelligence on Iran, a country which he, in our names, is about to wage war upon.  Let’s see,  on account of our president’s lying to us,  Iraq, to date, has cost us twenty-four hundred of our best and brightest and still counting..    Now, as he pushes for another war (this time against Iran),  how many lives is this same traitor gonna cost us,  should we be dumb enough to fall for his lies again and let him get away with it.  And how many of those lives will have been lost on account of the intelligence that said president compromised when he outed Valerie Phlame.  Can we prevent another war?  Why of course!  First we see to it that he’s impeached.  Next we make sure that he’s taken to Geneva in order that he can be tried before the International Court of Criminal Justice on the charge of mass-murder and other crimes against humanity.  And by that ime it’ll be,  “Who’d believe it,  we the people are changing the world.”

This would just be icing on the cake—Now guess who’ll be responsible when the information on Iran is inconclusive?
