Curious? Weren't there several reports that 70+ died after Plame leak?

I don't have any links but I remember seeing in DU reports of seventy or more people who were killed because Plame's identity was disclosed. Does anyone know this for a fact, and if so, why hasn't this been brought up in the msm?

any kind regardless of how outlandish it may be. To do so would give away some small level of secrecy.

If the Daily Star reported that that the CIA was cooperating with space aliens they would not confirm or deny it.

I saw these too and I think it's fairly important to stop the spin.

It's just unbelievable that someone working in the underground
WMD black market for the US is exposed and this would really help
point out what the fuck Rove did that was so evil and outrageous.

To reveal the identity of an undercover CIA agent is one thing, but to have it result in the deaths of colleagues or ordinary citizens is more than grounds for a death sentence, IMO.

Nothing was confirmed or official, but in the shadowy world of espionage, who can ever really know anything for sure?

shortly after the Plame outing in the Middle East. I can't remember if they were linked to the security breach or not.

Peace.

of the Aramco deaths?

that 70 to 140 (never pinned down a #) "foreign assets were liquidated" as a result of Plames outing. That's been widely interpreted to mean "people were killed". We'll never know.

as part of his investigation?

I've heard anywhere from 25 to 90 assets were liquidated as a result of Plane's operation being compromised.

came from Al Martin (?) who reported on Wilson's speech ID'ing Rove as the leaker on 8/29/something at a symposium. It's been widely repeated all over the 'net.

There could be charges if there's evidence it's true. Don't forget, some of these assets might be U.S. Citizens.

on CNN, MSNBC, et al, now that they have decided to wake up and air the story. After all, it is for this very reason that CIA operatives must retain their secret status...people die.

The story I read is that other CIA agents were "outed" when Plame was outed. That is because they worked for the same CIA front corporation.

I would think so. Very curious how deep this all goes...

One of the side effects of her outing, was the outing of the fake company used as a front to help keep these folks undercover.

Anyone associated with that company is as good as dead. If they aren't dead they are hiding to prevent getting that way.

I'm sure there are a number of other assets that were compromised.

Way to ride that wave, elehhhhna!

peace.

either way we lost a lot of extremely valuable assets. Either they were killed or they were forced to stop doing what they were doing and disappear (so that they would not be killed).

Nearly 20 years invested gone.

Treason during Wartime

whether compromised, exposed, possibly killed...one way or the other, written off as useful assetts. treason, no doubt about it.

unless it can be verified.

Why give the RW an easy way to discredit the investigation?

Since some RW are denying that Plame was a covert agent what would it hurt to ask if any agents were killed or compromised? Just don't expect any answer.

If the answer is NONE doesn't that partially confirm Plame was an agent? This would also put the administration in the position of having to deny an agent they compromised (which is what we are witnessing). Since there are some indications this was a substantial operation, and some in the intelligence community who know the truth. Who wants to put their life on the line when those who sent you turn out to be traitors?

No matter the outcome, Bushco has made some real enemies that even Poppy and his connections cannot discourage.

Rove's big mistake was to think with his dirty political tricks he is even in the same class as the tricksters in Langley. He will pay and payday is coming.

that they are.
