I was reading a story, about the grand jury, investigating the outing of CIA operative Plame. The thought occured to me? Why is Novack, not charged. To me it doesn't matter where the info came from, but the fact that he released it, should be a crime. Not to mention, that if you charge him with a crime, he will probably spill his guts. Just a thought, what do you guys think??

Last night a couple of friends and I were talking about this very issue. From what we (my friends and I) can determine is that he was not the only one to publish or know this information and when it was given to him it was not on the condition of secrecy but rather open, or well known. Don't quote me, but I believe that Novak put in his column the next day about why he did what he did. I'm sure it's somewhere out there on the 'net.

The story I heard was that it was "common knowledge" that she worked for the agency?

if the democrats had any cajones, the would have impeached little w and cheney both for conflict of interests.

little w for lying and cheney for receiving renumeration from halliburton. both are no no's.

LMAO at Rick... If you impeach W for lying... what do you proprose for Kerry.
1) First he states he'll support a Pro-Life Supreme if it doesn't endanger Roe v. Wade and the very next day he doesn't.
2) One day he owns SUV's (when campaigning in Michigan) the following week (Earth Day Celebration) he don't own no stinkin' SUV's... they all belong to "his family".
3) He voted for the Iraq appropriation before he voted against the appropriation.
4) He advocates the rich should pay more taxes but his wife paid a much smaller percentage than I did.
5) Kerry bemoans outside influnce peddlers yet one of his biggest supporters is AIG (an insurance company who made out like bandits on the Boston "Big Dig" project by collecting interest on overpaid premiums that they put in escrow).

I could go on and on but you wouldn't pay any attention anyway.

Cheers,

grond

Kerry was quoted as saying he's opposed to impeachment.

Rick, you need to take it easy. If I told you that I had been smoking a lot of Fuentes lately, you would probably tell me that President Bush is on the take from cigar manufacturers, is in league with the cigarette companies to give everyone cancer, is hiking gas prices in the Dominican Republic so that cigars cost more, and how he was in the Dominican air force, but didn't actually serve any time.

Not everything is about Bush.

Sorry I have not responded, to this thread, having started it. It was not about Bush. It is about thinking of a way to solve the case. Was Novak not the first to publically report the identity of the operative??? If he had half a brain, he would know, when someone told him, "She's a CIA operative", that you don't tell anyone, and just assume that the person who told you has loose lips. I believe that if someone told me that someone was a CIA operative, I wouldn't tell anyone about it. So technically, Novack outed the operative. So why isn't he charged??
Just the early morning squirrel cage that is my mind, type question. I am much more focused, and probably wouldn't even think of a question such as this, after coffee, as my mind doesn't have time to worry about such things. Ah the coffee is ready.

Sorry for the threadjack Home but Rick just get's my dander stirred up.

And... Rick... you didn't read my post. I only asked what do we do to Kerry for all his flip flopping/flim flamming? I don't have to wait for him to be President to impeach him because I'll do what I can (politically) to see that he never attains that position. :)

As for Novak... Freedom of the Press protects him from being considered a law breaker. The person who may have broken the law is the one who revealed said secret to him. He, as a journalist, may publish it. Ain't necessarily ethical but neither is it illegal... lest he would already be indicted.
