Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I would argue that unless he declassified it before he leaked it, it was classified at the time of the leak, and therefore still a violation.
AFAIK, the Plame issue hasn't specifically come up in Libby's statement. I don't know whether the other info would be considered (legally) classified.
Seriously. My knife defenses are reasonably good, but still. Real knives. They say no one gets injured, but they could perpetrating a huge coverup.
Are any of these people mothers? Ay yi yi.
Right, so. I'm getting a little bit grumpy this afternoon. I'm having a hard time suppressing the violent impulses I feel toward certain coworkers.
I want to ask this guy - Are you a Goth? Do you know Jilli?
Sweet zombie Jesus. The thing is, I bet I know people who know him. (Which would be one of the many reasons why I'm not going to the local SF/fantasy/general media geek convention that's happening next weekend. Too many people I really don't want to be trapped in conversations with.)
The not small issue I have with this is that is you are going declassify someone's STATUS AS A CIA AGENT, maybe you TELL THEM FIRST!
Yes, this.
I wish I could say I'm no longer surprised by any of the news about the government. I really do. But yes, surprised and horrified.
Are any of these people mothers?
Mothers who'd train until month 7 of a pregnancy number among them, yes.
I'm having a hard time suppressing the violent impulses I feel toward certain coworkers.
If you hurt them too badly, the resultant legal stuff might interfer with your move to Chicago. I'd go with verbally evicerating them, m'self.
ETA: Or get a reeeeeally good alibi.
However, this guy seems confused about the gay thing, so....
Well maybe he's gay but, you know, not very good at it.
Slurping, belching, and picking her molars with her finger. Not even raised by wolves would explain it.
Yecch.
Well, leaving Plame's identity leak aside, since that seems separate, the other information that Bush is supposed to have authorized to leak must have been classified, otherwise, why make the point that the president can declassify?
The president may or may not have the power to declassify information. It is, however, a long and involved process, and consists of more than him saying "hmm, I don't want this to be classified anymore. Hey Scooter, c'mere!"
