Remember Valerie Plame?

[vraiblonde]

You know - the covert CIA agent who was outed by Scooter Libby? Only we later found out that she was neither outed, nor was she a covert agent, nor was it Scooter Libby who did the talking.

Remember how the media made this a huge story, with front page covers on almost every magazine from Newsweek to Rolling Stone to Vanity Fair, and the Plame-Wilsons on every talk show? Remember how it went on for months, with keening from the Left about endangering our intelligence agents and how Bush should be prosecuted for allowing this to happen?

So...

What's going on with those two CIA psychologists that were outed by ABC News? Any outrage? Or is that okay because they designed interrogation techniques and the libs consider them "bad"?

Because you can't just come up with this stuff?

What got you interested in this this AM? Did it just pop in your head? Did you read something that reminded you of it? Was there a piece on the TV about or something? I'm interested in what got your interested in it for some context because it may be an interesting conversation.

Obviously, there is HUGE bias in the media, so, that's not new.

Well, sure she can. I'm curious what brought it up because it certainly was given very short shrift by the Obama wing of the media.

As I mention, the bias is not new. The thing I find very interesting about Obama is the threat of mob violence he uses, the personal intimidation. He used it on the AIG folks. It got used again on these CIA people.

However, it's not my tread, so I was curious what interested her about this and where she was going to go with it instead of just hijacking it like the Somali Pirate that I am, right out of the gate.

Um...my breakfast quiche told me to bring this up. I think it was the bacon bits in particular. They're all smart like that.

But they forgot to tell me a specific reason for bringing it up in case I was questioned. It made sense to me at the time, but now I think they were talking out their ass and trying to make me look like an idiot.

Well I thought you could, actually, I was just being a bit snarky.

Interesting observation. It hadn't occurred to me at all. Might be something interesting to drop into the larger conservative blogosphere. They might be able to give it some feet.

Well, nobody else is talking about it, that's for sure.

I just thought it was interesting, after the enormous hullabaloo over Plame, how this is getting ZERO play. Bob Novak made a brief mention of Plame in a column, and they were calling for his head. Yet ABC News does an actual story specifically outing these two psychologists and....nothing. No DOJ investigation, no finger pointing, no nothing.
