We’ve all been amused by the contortions of HH and others posting here to prove that where there’s smoke, there must be fire, unless the smoke billows out of the ass of an administration critic.  As I pointed out here<\/a>, Ms. Plame will be singing for Henry Waxman and his committee of wax figures in the House on Friday, before jetting off to a well-deserved retirement and movie deal in Santa Fe, where she will try to pick up the shattered pieces of a life demolished by the killbots of BushCo.  I’m sure Congressman Waxman will try to limit the scope of her testimony to her own version of how her family and colleagues were endangered by the nefarious outing she suffered at their hands.  But since we are to be afforded this political theatre, we might as well get her testimony regarding the questions put forth in that post and in the comments.  I urge you all to write your representatives to see that certain underlying questions are addressed for the edification of the American public, so that we cease operating in parallel universes as we consider these issues, let the chips fall where they may.  It appears that different parties are operating out of different precedents, and that for the good of the nation certain facts ought to be determined as well as possible.  Ms. Plame’s agreement to testify provides an opportunity to do so.\n<\/p>\n
