7/15    Between the several Rove announcements over the last
        few days it is not looking good for the Dems.
        Who Exposed Secret Agent Plame?
        http://www.nationalreview.com/may/may200507150827.asp   -jblack
        \_ In contrast, I think things are just heating up, and I wouldn't
           say "the Dems" -- I'd say anyone who's anti-Rove-leak is pretty
           pissed.
        \_ Justin Black, Bush encouraged supporters of the war to hang a flag
           this weekend. I have a better idea. Why don't the Americans who
           support the war enlist in the armed services today? It's clear
           that our military is overstretched and our forces in Iraq are too
           few. It seems to me that you people would rather fight the media
           than the insurgents.
        \_ It's interesting you have linked to an article from
           clifford may, one of the guys who's claimed to have known
           for the last 50 years that valerie plame was a secret
           agent. - danh
        \_ well I guess as NR articles go, that wasn't too terrible.
        \_ Does you ever wake up in the middle of the night
           and realize that Karl Rove and his zombie army are a bunch
           of shitheads?
        \_ So was Novak just the patsy?
           AP poll, July 11-13:  42% of Americans approve of Dubya's job as
           President, 56% disapprove.  40% approve of Dubya's handling of
           Iraq, 59% disapprove.  http://csua.org/u/cqc
           \_ You just don't get it. I voted for Bush because I liked his
              personal qualities. Unlike Kerry, Bush is straightforward
           \_ You just don't get it. I voted for Bush because he is a white
              Christian man. Unlike Kerry, Bush is straightforward
              and never looks down on anybody. He is not a snob. He is not
              French. Most importantly, he is pro-life, religious, and is
              tough on terrorists. There's a great sense of connection I
              have with Bush that I just can't explain, but as long as it
              exists, I trust the President to always do what is right.
              In the end, doing right thing is more important than doing
              what is popular. Darn it, I think I may have been trolled.
              \_ Are you familiar with the concept of a "cult of personality?"
                 \_ Hi.  You don't know what a cult of personality is. -- ilyas
                    \_ Explain it, then.  How is it different than pp's blind
                       hero worship?
                       \_ I am not getting into this.  Read some things on
                          existing personality cults, and think about it.
                            -- ilyas
                          \_ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_personality
                             "Cult of personality or personality cult is a
                             term for what is perceived to be excessive
                             adulation of a single living leader."
                             Again... how was my question to the blind Bush
                             worshipper above unwarranted?
                             \_ Listen, mental giant, since you insist, I will
                                spell it out for you.  He doesn't worship Bush.
                                He likes Bush.  Like inner city kids like
                                Michael Jordan.  Neither Bush nor Michael Jordan
                                are perfect by any means, but to say they enjoy
                                a cult of personality like Stalin or Mao is
                                beyond moronic.  Excessive adulation of Bush
                                would be like giant portraits of him hanging
                                everywhere, shrines in people's living rooms,
                                etc.  Cult of personality is not a relationship
                                between a single person and a leader, it's
                                a relationship between a people and a leader.
                                This 'liking of Bush' that you find so
                                distasteful is a similar thing to that famous
                                quote by Nina Burleigh saying she will happily
                                give Clinton a blowjob just because he kept the
                                woman's right to choose.  Is that cult of
                                personality too?  Give me a fucking break.
                                  -- ilyas
                                \_ Uhhhh, chill man... you've been trolled?
              \_ Who gave Britney Spears a soda account?

All Novak reports i s that the wife of former Ambassador Joseph C Wilson is an Agency opera tive on weapons of mass destruction. Novak has said repeatedly that he was not told, and that he did not know, that Plame was or had ever been a NOC, an agent with Non-Official C over. He has emphatically said that had he understood that she was any s ort of secret agent, he would never have named her. As for Novaks use of the word operative, he might as easily have called h er an official, an analyst, or an employee. But, as a longtime newsman, he instinctively chose the sexiest term (one he routinely applies to pol itical figures, too, ie a party operative). Reread Novaks article, and youll also see that Novak in no way denigrates Wilson. On the contrary, he talks of Wilsons heroism in Iraq in 1991. A nd nowhere in his column does he say or even imply that Wilson was u nqualified to conduct the Niger investigation or that Plame was responsi ble for getting him the assignment merely that she suggested sending h im. Even so, it is unclear whether Novaks sources may have committed a crime by talking to Novak about Plame. That would depend on a number of variab les involving what they knew about Plame and how they came to know it. A prosecutor would have the power to compel Novak to testify regarding wh at was said to him and by whom. In Washington, plenty of people are acquainted with CIA operatives who are not working undercover. For examp le, when a CIA analyst wrote a book under the pseudonym Anonymous, it wa s widely known that Anonymous was the Agencys Michael Scheuer. No crime was committed or alleged no classified information had been disclosed, no NOC had been exposed. So if Novak did not reveal that Valerie Plame was a secret agent, who did ? The evidence strongly suggests it was none other than Joe Wilson himse lf. Let me walk you through the steps that lead to this conclusion. an article by David Corn published July 16, 2003, just two days a fter Novaks column appeared. It carried this lead: Did Bush officials bl ow the cover of a US intelligence officer working covertly in a field of vital importance to national security and break the law in order to strike at a Bush administration critic and intimidate others? Since Novak did not report that Plame was working covertly how did Corn k now thats what she had been doing? Corn does not tell his readers and he has responded to a query from me on ly by pointing out that he was asking a question, not making a statement of fact. But in the article, he asserts that Novak outed Plame as an un dercover CIA officer. Rather, it is Corn w ho is, apparently for the first time, outing Plames undercover status. Corn follows that assertion with a quote from Wilson saying, I will not a nswer questions about my wife. Any reporter worth his salt would immedia tely wonder: Did Wilson indeed answer Corns questions about his wife a fter Corn agreed not to quote his answers but to use them only on backgr ound? Read the rest of Corns piece and its difficult to believe anything else. Corn names no other sources for the information he provides and he provides much more information than Novak revealed. Corn also claims that Wilson will not confirm nor deny that his wife work s for the CIA. That would seem to m ean that the Bush administration has screwed one of its own top-secret o peratives in order to punish Wilson On what basis could Corn assume that Plame was not only working covertly but was actually a top-secret operative? And where did Corn get the idea that Plame had been outed in order to punish Wilson? That is not sugges ted by anything in the Novak column which, as I noted, is sympathetic to Wilson and Plame. The likely answer: The allegation that someone in the administration leak ed to Novak as a way to punish Wilson was made by Wilson to Corn. But Corn, rather than quote Wilson, puts the idea forward as his own. Keep in mind that from early on there were two possible but contradictory scenarios: 1) Members of the Bush administration intentionally exposed a covert CIA agent as a way to take revenge against her husband who had written a cri tical op-ed. Corn concludes that Plames career has been destroyed by the Bush administ ration. Wilson says: N aming her this way would have compromised every operation, every relatio nship, every network with which she had been associated in her entire ca reer. Corn has assured us several times that Wilson refused to answer questions about his wife, refused to confirm or deny that she worked for the CIA, refused to acknowledge whether she is a deep-cover CIA employee. But he is willing to say on the record that naming her this way was an act of treachery? If Wilson did tell Corn that his wife was an undercover agent, did he com mit a crime? But the charge that someone committed a crime by naming Plame as a covert agent was also made by Corn, appare ntly for the first time, in this same article. No doubt, the independent prosecutor and the grand jury will sort it out. Criminality aside, if Wilson revealed to Corn that Plame worked as a CIA deep-cover operative tracking parties trying to buy or sell WMDs, surely thats news. And it is consequential: On the basis of Novaks story alone, it is highly unlikely that anyone would have had a clue that Plame presumably unde r a different name and while living in a foreign country had been a NO C At most, her friends in Washington would have been surprised to learn that she didnt work where she said she worked. But once Corn published the fact that Plame had been a top-secret operati ve, and once he quoted Wilson saying what exposing his wife would mean and once Plame posed for Vanity Fair photographers anyone who had eve r known her in a different context and with a different identity would h ave been tipped off. But they would not have been tipped by Novak nor, based on what we know so far, by Karl Rove. Rather, it appears they would have been tipped of f by Joe Wilson who, the publicly available evidence strongly suggests, leaked like a sieve to The Nations David Corn.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_personality
The reputation of a single leader, often characterized as the "liberator" or "savior" of the people, elevates that leader to an almost divine level. The leader's pi cture appears everywhere, as do statues and other monuments to the leade r's greatness and wisdom. The leader's slogans and other quotes cover ma ssive billboards, and books containing the leader's speeches and writing s fill up the bookstores and libraries. The level of flattery can reach heights which may appear absurd to outsiders. Mao Zedong, and all quo tes from Mao appeared highlighted in boldface or in red. Personality cults aim to make the leader and the state seem synonymous, s o it becomes impossible to comprehend the existence of one without the o ther. Both Mao Z edong and Joseph Stalin used their cults of personality to help crush th eir political opponents. The creation of such a vast cult often led to criticism of the regimes of Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong in particular. During the peak of their re igns both these leaders appeared as god-like omniscient rulers, destined to rule their nation for all eternity. Government orders prescribed the hanging of their portraits in every home and public building, and many artists and poets were instructed to only produce works that glorified t he leader. To justify this level of worship, both Mao and Stalin tried t o present themselves as personally humble and modest, and would often ch aracterize their vast personality cults as nothing more than a spontaneo us show of affection by their people. Josef Stalin is often credited with creating the first modern-day cul t of personality. Cults of personality can collapse very quickly after the ousting or death of the leader. In some ca ses, the leader formerly the subject of a cult of personality becomes vi lified after his death, and often a massive effort at renaming and statu e-removal ensues. Lenin was glorified in the Soviet U nion does not constitute a cult of personality, because it only took pla ce after his death), nor does it refer to honoring symbolic leaders who have no real power. Thailand, in which the king or queen's image is respectfull y displayed in many public places, but convention or law forbid them fro m converting this respect into real political power. Afghanistan lacked many of the trappings of cults of pers onality, and the leaders in these regimes remained almost anonymous. In these cases, the lack of a cult of personality seems partly motivated by the desire to project an image of a faceless but omniscient and omnipre sent state. People's Republic o f China, authorities frown upon the establishment of a cult of personali ty for fear it may upset the balance of power between the leaders within the political elite.

We dreamed of such an America during the Great Depression, when there were no jobs. And then we fought and often died for that dream during the Second World War, when there was no peace. But I know now that there is not a chance in hell of Americas becoming humane and reasonable. Because power corrupts us, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Turning Shame Into Outrage Posted by neverdem On 05/13/2004 9:18:08 PM PDT with 1 comment LA Times ^ | May 13, 2004 | Charles Paul Freund Charles Paul Freund is a senior editor at Reason magazine.
