John Kerry blows CIA Agent's cover


iconPartisan hacks were lining up to blame Bush for the Valerie Plame kerfuffle. They claimed that someone in the Bush Administration outed Plame as a CIA Agent, and demanded that heads roll. Grand Jury testimony was heard. But the same people who were trying to make something out of nothing have been completely silent since John Kerry outed a CIA Operative on Monday.

They were discussing one of the officials involved in a dispute over what Democrats said was Bolton's inappropriate treatment of an intelligence analyst who disagreed with him.

"We referred to this other analyst at the CIA, whom I'll try and call Mr. Smith here," Bolton said at one point.

But the committee chairman, Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.), and Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) mentioned a name that had not previously come up in public accounts of the intelligence flap.

In questioning Bolton, Kerry read from a transcript of closed-door interviews that committee staffers conducted with State Department officials before yesterday's hearing.

"Did Otto Reich share his belief that [the person in question] should be removed from his position? The answer is yes," Kerry said, characterizing one interview. "Did John Bolton share that view?" Kerry asked. Again, he said the answer was yes.

"As I said, I had lost confidence in Mr. Smith, and I conveyed that," Bolton replied. "I thought that was the honest thing to do."

UPDATE: World Net Daily contradicts the AP report and says that the agent's name had already been mentioned several times.

Clearest sign you are a misinformed pathetic hack:

Worldnet Daily is more accurate than you.

At least Duane didn't call you a "dink-penised mook of a troglodyte" or something.

The title of this post could almost qualify for lefty moonbat headlines if properly massaged:

John Kerry blows CIA Agent...
