Blown Coverage [Dan Collins]
Brewster-Jennings, Valerie Plame’s cover company for investigation of foreign attempts to acquire US nuclear secrets, was compromised by a State Department employee who tipped off his Pakistani contacts, according to allegations made by a Turkish language instructor with the FBI.  ÂÂ
That would be two years before Valerie Wilson Plame was outed.ÂÂ
Ms Plame declined to comment, stating that she’s unable to comment on any of her CIA activities.  Unless it’s in a book.ÂÂ
Love to find out who that State Department employee was.ÂÂ

The lefties say it’s one of Patrick Fitzgerald’s star witnesses against Libby, Marc Grossman. Seriously.

Sibel Edmonds mostly seems like a tool if you ask me, but it would be cool to throw a State Department official in jail. They’re tools for sure.

Thanks.It’s so hard to keep it all in my head.That’s why I don’t.

I would love to see how they explain this one away.Was Edmonds a Rove plant, sent in years ahead of time, just waiting for this one particular moment to destroy Joe/Valerie?

BECAUSE OF THE SCORCHED-EARTH POLICY !!!

At least one of the commenters at BradBlog is hoping this Grossman thing is a “smoking gun” — though against whom, I’d be hard pressed to imagine. Hillary, maybe?
Pablo
Armitage spilled the beans on Val. Why not him?
Oh, because he’s not a Bushie. Duh.
happyfeet
This Grossman is no Bushie either. I think they just hope he’s a neocon cause he’s jewish.
Pablo
Judging by the way they planted the Clinton/Gore administration years ahead of time to roll out the totally bullshit premise for the Rethuglican War of Choice, I think anything is possible.
Topsecretk9
Oh, it’s gets wackier – cat fight in the comments too. Larry tries to throw cold water on Sibel’s cebtral claim about Grossman because of the massive problems it poses to the Val was outed by a guy her husband went to college with and was the person Wilson called at state to complain he was being referred to as low level – not too mention Wilson questionable consulting on behalf of Turkish interests.

From the Against All Enemies link:
This seems to be evidence of a fundamental understanding of the legislative process. From the link
supporting that claim:
Is AAE another Greenwald puppet?

TSK9 can tell you that I’ve been saying for the last 3 1/2 years that the spotlight would ultimately shine on Grossman. I never thought I might actually be right. I think I’ll take a wait and see.
JD
ohnoes … they got topsekret’s punctuation !!!!
Pablo
Tsk9,
OMG, Scary Larry is in the mix? This is just going to get better and better.
Damn the bad luck! Isn’t that always the way?
Ann
I can vouch for everything Tops and Sara have commented on here.Warning: Don’t mess with them because they come from a large and powerful family.
JD
Once they have shown the ability to steal the punctuation from TSK9, it is clear that their pernicious influence and reach knows no bounds.Much like Kkkleo’s stupidity.Or Barry’s changeyness.
MayBee
ha, JD!

I didn’t think Scary Larry was allowed to put down Valerie’s water to type comments on a keyboard.MUST PROTECT NARRATIVE.

JD
I know I suck at punctuation, but I’m Topsecret not “topsekret”.
daleyrocks
Not kraw, kraw.

I didn’t think Scary Larry was allowed to put down Valerie’s water to type comments on a keyboard. MUST PROTECT NARRATIVE.
I think he was forced and he found an out. He pretended Sibel insulted someone so he can remove and extend himself from Sibel now that he and Joe Wilson have endorsed Hillary. Wilson documented he and his wives ACT Scowcroft love and Wilson had deep Turkish interests on his portfolio, oops.
A Clinton presidency most probably helps their Sudan oil sanction busting rape via ” Jarch”.
JD
Topsecretk9 – I was just funnin’ with ya’.
drjohn
Great catch.
MayBee
Topsecret
I love Tops!

I can tell you categorically that it is Marc Grossman. And I can tell you that Sibel’s case has nothing to do with ‘partisanship’ – the case stretches back to 96, that includes Clinton’s presidency

This will all amount to nothing, I’m afraid.A compromise of classified information does not make future divulgences (is that even a word?) of said secrets aboveboard.Only formal declassification does that.
Check out the statutes if you don’t believe me.It’s also in our signing statements.
So, even if Val were to have been burned by both Ames (not sure if I’ve got the right guy, but you all know what I’m talking about) and this State guy, if her ID was ever classified, divulging it was a crime.
Dan Collins
Well, Slart, I don’t expect it to amount to much, but I’d like this State employee exposed.
Slartibartfast
Me, too.Especially if she’s hawt.
Yeah, stuff like this needs light shed on it, but I don’t think it lends much to the Plame whodunit.
