Karl Rove: Did He Leak Plame Memo to Jeff Gannon?
by CONSPIRACY PLANET

Karl Rove: Did He Leak Plame Memo to Jeff Gannon? The Jeff Gannon Fake Reporter/ Gay Escort Scandal may become a major problem for the Bush-Cheney Regime as unanswered questions continue to loom over the White House.

Did a vindictive Karl Rove leak the memo exposing CIA agent Valerie Plame to fake reporter Jeff Gannon (J.D. Guckert) as retaliation against Ambassador Joseph Wilson? Political analyst Al Martin asks this question in his column, "Fairy Godmother Rules: Karl Rove and the Gay Republican Mafia." (www.almartinraw.com)

John Aravosis of AmericaBlog.com reported that Gannon/ Guckert was offering his gay escort services for $200 an hour, or $1,200 a weekend on several X-rated websites including USMCPT.com, MaleCorps.com, WorkingBoys.net, and MeetLocalMen.com.

The White House credentialized fake news reporter Jeff Gannon from fake news agency Talon News for the White House press pool.

The Washington Post reported that Gannon had access to the internal CIA memo that names Joseph Wilson’s wife, Valerie Plame, as a covert agent.

If it were Rove, why would those two reporters be protecting him? I would think they would delight in seeing him go down. I mean, of course, they would put up a slight fight, but then say something like, "Well, we firmly believe in protecting sources, but the fascist government has twisted our privileged arms and we need them to type and to eat with our silver spoons."

Damn! If I had the goods on Rove I would be first in line at the Justice department salivating and drooling down my shirt to tell them that Rove the Nazi leaked the goods. I´d probably also have a good-sized wet spot on my pants before it was done.

And in terms of there being any reporters left, how did anyone not notice Gannon having a daily pass? Wouldn´t you think this incestuous group of smug, self-righteous over-educated baboons notice that someone not of their rank was in their midst? In the movie, "Gorillas in the Mist," the gorillas noticed Dian Fossey right off? No one had to tell them! Does that mean Harvard and the like produce less intelligent specimens than the mountain gorillas of Africa?

Bush´s Top Aides Exposed an Undercover CIA Agent To Silence Critics


On July 14, 2003, columnist Robert Novak -- a staunchly partisan Republican and ally of the Bush administration -- wrote a column attacking Joseph Wilson, a former ambassador who had investigated the allegations that Iraq tried to buy uranium in Niger (and concluded they were false). Novak wrote:
"Wilson never worked for the CIA, but his wife, Valerie Plame, is an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction. Two senior administration officials told me Wilson´s wife suggested sending him to Niger to investigate the Italian report."

Several other journalists besides Novak were contacted by the two Bush Administration officials, who encouraged them to report these facts, though Novak was the only one to publish the story directly. An administration official confirmed to the Washington Post that the two officials had contacted at least 6 journalists with the information in an effort to discredit Wilson. Reporters were contacted at Time Magazine and 3 TV networks, including NBC-TV´s Andrea Mitchell (who was called after Novak´s column appeared.) CNN reports that "sources" confirmed these contacts to them as well. After Novak´s column appeared, some of the others discussed the story, including Time Magazine, Long Island Newsday and the Washington Post.

For fairly obvious reasons, it is a felony (punished by 10 years in prison) to reveal the identity of an undercover agent. In fact President Bush´s father, the first President Bush, said in a 1999 speech that those who expose the names of intelligence sources are "the most insidious of traitors."

Wilson´s wife -- and mother of his 3 year old twins -- is a case officer in the CIA´s clandestine service, working to uncover information about weapons of mass destruction, and her cover job was energy analyst for a private firm. By publishing her maiden name, which she worked under, Novak not only risked her safety, but has tipped off foreign governments that any of their people who met with her are possibly spies. Novak claims that the CIA "asked me not to use her name, but never indicated it would endanger her or anybody else." (Journalists are exempt from the law against exposing intelligence sources; it only applies to the government leakers.)

Shortly after the column appeared, the CIA filed a crime report with the Justice Department. In mid-September 2003, they sent additional information verifying the damage that was caused and confirming that the agent´s identity had been secret. The Justice Department, headed by Bush appointee John Ashcroft, has now concluded its preliminary inquiry, determined that there is a crime here, and has opened a full investigation.

Here´s the interesting thing about this story: everyone in Washington knows which Administration officials made this leak. Keep that in mind when you read the stories about this scandal, and you´ll get an idea of how twisted and chummy the Washington insider scene is. Top Bush officials know because, well, two of them did it and Bush and Karl Rove run a tight ship -- they might not do the dirty work themselves, but this administration is famous for NOT having unauthorized leaks.

And pretty much every reporter in Washington knows who did it -- at least 6 were contacted by the leakers in the first place, and they have talked to several other reporters (all off the record without naming names of course.) Because reporters don´t want to reveal their confidential sources (or get punished by Karl Rove), they will continue to play this game where the White House gets away with saying "if these allegations are true" and the press piously pretends they don´t know who leaked. Of course the allegations are true -- the name was printed, wasn´t it? Unless you believe that ROBERT NOVAK of all people is lying and falsely identified his allies in the Administration as the source of the leak, it is an open and shut case. Even the impeccably conservative Washington Times agrees on this point.

Now of course, folks will email me and ask "Who did it then?" I wish I knew, but I´m based in Oregon and don´t hang in those circles. Undoubtedly one of our readers does know though, so do a guy a favor and send us the scoop. Wilson first named Karl Rove, the President´s brilliant and vindictive political adviser. Karl Rove was fired from the elder President Bush´s 1992 campaign, according to Esquire Magazine, "after he planted a negative story with columnist Robert Novak about dissatisfaction with campaign fundraising chief and Bush loyalist Robert Mosbacher Jr." Interesting parallel.

If you read between the lines, though, the Washington insiders all point to one name. Take, for example, a story in the Washington Post, which has had the strongest sources on this story to date. The story quotes another (unnamed) journalist confirming that administration officials were spreading this story, and then describes the Time magazine article:

"An article that appeared on the Time magazine Web site the same week Novak´s column was published said that ´some government officials have noted to Time in interviews . . . that Wilson´s wife, Valerie Plame, is a CIA official who monitors the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.´ The same article quoted from an interview with I. Lewis Libby, Vice President Cheney´s chief of staff, saying that Cheney did not know about Wilson´s mission ´until this year when it became public in the last month or so.´"

By amazing coincidence, that same name popped up in a USA Today story about Plame. While describing Plame´s work, the author went out of his way to point out that Libby was familiar with Plame´s work (and identity):

"In Washington, Plame was assigned to the CIA´s Non-Proliferation Center, an organization of analysts, technical experts and former field operatives who work on detecting and, if possible, preventing foreign proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Vice President Cheney and his chief of staff, Lewis ´´Scooter´´ Libby, met with officials at the Non-Proliferation Center before the invasion of Iraq to discuss reports that Iraq was seeking to buy uranium in Africa. A U.S. official with knowledge of those meetings said Plame did not attend. But the former U.S. intelligence official said she was involved in preparing materials for those meetings."

So neither story SAYS that Lewis Libby was one of the leakers, but boy didn´t his name appear out of the blue right when folks were discussing whodunnit? Cheney and his staff have been the most hawkish of the hawks seeking to attack Iraq and damn the torpedoes.

As time goes on, Libby and the Vice President´s office just keep getting singled out, seemingly as non-sequitirs, in these discussions. For example, outspoken Republican Senator Chuck Hagel said on CNBC that President Bush should take a more active role "and get this behind him." He went on to say:

"He has that main responsibility to see this through and see it through quickly, and that would include, if I was president, sitting down with my vice president and asking what he knows about it,"

And during Monday´s embattled press conference, Bush´s press secretary McLellen said this out of the blue:

"There´s been nothing, absolutely nothing, brought to our attention to suggest any White House involvement, and that includes the vice president´s office as well."

And here is some interesting speculation on who the ´senior administration official´ who confirmed the leaks might be. (The leading candidate seems to be George Tenet, head of the CIA.)

The Bush Administration´s reaction should break the illusion if anyone still thinks Bush is a man of integrity dedicated to national security. First, of course, his staff exposes an undercover CIA agent in THE most critical national defense area -- protecting the US against weapons of mass destruction held by terrorists and rogue nations. That´s what Valerie Plame did, until she was exposed. If Bush is the man he claims he is, he would be shocked by this action, find out who did it and fire them. Instead, he completely ignored the issue after the column was published, until an FBI investigation forced him to react. Though he said the politically correct things to the press -- "I want to get to the bottom of this", etc. -- his press secretary admits that Bush won´t even ASK his top aides if they did it. He knows one of them did, because his ally Robert Novak said so. But he can´t be bothered to ask who, or do anything about it.

Now, the Bush administration has a twin strategy -- attack Joseph Wilson as a partisan Democrat, and make sure no Republicans join the calls for a special prosecutor. One Republican aide called the strategy "slime and defend." The strategy reveals Bush´s true nature -- his only concern is political damage control, not national security.

Is Wilson a Democrat? No one has reported that. He is a vocal critic of the way Bush has pursued war in Iraq, but it´s not as simple as him being a partisan activist. He and his wife have given money to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry this year, and Wilson has advised Kerry´s staff. In 1999, he gave $1,000 to Democratic candidate Al Gore, but he also gave $2,000 to George Bush himself. Wilson was appointed to his post in Iraq by George Bush´s father, the ex-president, who praised his work there, where Wilson went toe to toe with Saddam Hussein, and was a war hawk. This time, he has supported military action against Iraq but criticized the Bush administration for the way they have done it, and the reasons they gave to justify it.

More to the point, so what? It´s still just as wrong (and just as illegal) to expose a spy even if her husband opposes the President.

Calls for a special prosecutor are ironic, since Bush and his allies called so insistently for special prosecutors during Clinton´s scandals, even though no one suggested that Janet Reno had any direct ties to the scandals, and Democrats fought them just as insistently. Now the roles are reversed. Politics aside, though, there are some real reasons to be suspicious of John Ashcroft´s ability to fairly prosecute Bush administration officials. Ashcroft has direct ties to at least one central figure in the investigation, Karl Rove. Rove was a paid consultant to 3 of Ashcroft´s political campaigns before Ashcroft was appointed Attorney General. And Jack Oliver, the deputy finance chairman of President Bush´s 2004 re-election campaign, was the director of Mr. Ashcroft´s 1994 Senate campaign, and later worked as Mr. Ashcroft´s deputy chief of staff.

Given these ties, it would be normal for Ashcroft to appoint a special prosecutor or recuse himself from the case, as Janet Reno did with the Waco investigation. (She appointed Republican Senator John Danforth as a special prosecutor). In 2001, Mr. Ashcroft recused himself from the investigation of Senator Robert G. Torricelli of New Jersey, simply because Mr. Torricelli had campaigned against Ashcroft in Missouri.

Why would the administration expose a CIA agent? Because Joseph Wilson (the agent´s husband) had publicly criticized the Bush administration´s claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and specifically described his assignment in 2002 to investigate claims that Iraq had tried to buy "yellowcake" uranium for a nuclear bomb.

Wilson was perfectly qualified to check this out -- he is an expert on Africa who was also the last U.S. Ambassador to Iraq before the (1991) Gulf War. The elder President Bush publicly praised Wilson´s "courage and tenacity" and "your skillful conduct of our tense dealings with the government of Iraq." Wilson checked out the claims and reported back that they were "highly doubtful." When the current Bush administration used the claims anyway to justify invading Iraq, and later denied that they knew the claims were false, he stepped forward and proved that these statements were lies.

One goal was to discredit Wilson. One of the journalists contacted, who asked to remain anonymous, said "The official I spoke with thought this was a part of Wilson´s story that wasn´t known and cast doubt on his whole mission." It also fits Karl Rove´s distinctive brand of hardball, to punish Wilson and, more importantly, intimidate any other government officials who considered disagreeing with them on Iraq´s weapons. Wilson says that on July 21st, a week after Novak had blown his wife´s cover, a different reporter called Wilson to say that he had just spoken with Rove, and that Rove had said that Wilson´s wife "was fair game." The senior Bush administration official who confirmed the phone calls to reporters told the Washington Post "Clearly, it was meant purely and simply for revenge."

By foreign occupation, McClellan was referring to the 15,000 Syrian troops in Lebanon. Later, McClellan was more specific, declaring that the Lebanese people must be “free from Syrian occupation.”

McClellan and the speechwriters must think people are as stupid as they are. An "occupying force" of only 15,000 troops? Hezbolla would have them for breakfast if they weren´t guests.

The Syrians are there because they were ASKED to back up the Lebanese against Israel who counted on dividing them.
