When the Valerie Plame deal erupted the donks were screaming TREASON! TREASON! Where is the rage when this miserable piece of shit outs a CIA agent. My, my the fucking rules sure can change quickly. What a miserable waste of protoplasm
This might be another non-story like the Valerie Plame deal....
Mentioned this question briefly in the Boltonblogging post below. There’s plenty to criticize John Kerry for, but this isn’t one of them. The Associated Press now asserts that both Sen. John Kerry and Sen. Richard Lugar “may have blown” a CIA agent’s cover during the Bolton hearings. (Lugar mentioned the name in his opening statement; Kerry dropped the name during questioning.)
Well, did they or didn’t they blow it? Don’t just rely on AP. Arms Control Wonk , the blog of Research Fellow Jeffrey Lewis at the Center for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy, provides four previous media citations of the agent’s name--all which make public reference to the agent, Fulton Armstrong, and the specific intelligence controversy at issue--dating back to September 2002.
Michelle links to the four other sources which had previously identified the individual by name.
LittleGreenFootballs also identifies the fact that a ton of info exists on the major search engines for CIA analyst Fulton Armstrong at the cia.gov website.
Great research, Brad. I wasn’t aware that anyone else was covering the story. It seems it is actually just another “kerfluffle” like the Plame thing of last year. Smoke and mirrors.
What can I say, Allan? I’m a research hound. Welcome to the St. Louis area BTW....
"selling snake oil in Hong Kong. Both of which he just barely qualifies for.”
He may actually qualify for selling snake oil in Cambodia though, having having already done that.
