Focus of Plame CIA leak shifts to perjury and obstruction of justice.
Also in the news, Ex-agents rip Bush on CIA leak, and I quote:
”What has suffered irreversible damage is the credibility of our case officers when they try to convince an overseas contact that their safety is of primary importance to us,” said Jim Marcinkowski, a former CIA case officer.
He also criticized Republican efforts to minimize the damage caused by the leak.
”Each time the political machine made up of prime-time patriots and partisan ninnies display their ignorance by deriding Valerie Plame as a mere paper-pusher, or belittling the varying degrees of cover used to protect our officers, or continuing to play partisan politics with our national security, it’s a disservice to this country,” he added.
Would convictions for perjury meet the Bush criteria for firing Karl Rove?
