Cheney, Rove, Libby Win Plame Suit Dismissal Appeal (Update2)

By Susan Decker and Cary O'Reilly

Aug. 12 (Bloomberg) -- A federal appeals court today upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit accusing U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, former White House political adviser Karl Rove and former Cheney aide I. Lewis Libby of illegally conspiring to reveal the identity of a CIA agent.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said a trial judge was correct to dismiss the suit by Valerie Plame, who worked at the Central Intelligence Agency's headquarters in Virginia, and her husband, former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson. They sued the three and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage in July 2006.

@MrDuffy81 Maybe you have a point. But stil, Valerie Plame Wilson was a valuable asset to her country. She served her country whereas Scooter Libby only served Dick Cheney.

[MrDuffy81]

@fatcatsathat IF YOU DIDN"T LEARN THAT LESSON ON 9-11-2001, THEN U HAVE FAILED THE CLASS.

[fatcatsathat]

@MrDuffy81 Perhaps, there is a lesson to be learned from the Plame case and that is that government officials can get away with what is illegal.

I'm not sure if they have looked into thorium either.

"Why should they?" Why shouldn't everybody? it has been promoted as a safe alternative by the Financial Times yet there appears very little debate about it in the mainstream press.

I'm not sure if they've looked into thorium. Why should they? They, like everyone else, are in their right to build nuclear power plants. No one has the right to force them not to. Why should they let themselves be unfairly treated and subjugated to others?

They want nuclear power so they call sell oil instead of spending it. I guess the neo conservatives don't want Iran to have money. Anyone who's not supporting American super capitalism destroying other economies are apparently terrorists.

[websuspect]

where are all the You tube videos of Plame q2uestioning 911 WOMDs intelligence report? Ray McGovern knows. Bush Admitted it yet he blamed it on the CIA. Plame said it was contrived. This is the big deal breaker for Bush going to jail after he leaves office.

[straightchris]

Yes, I agree with you.

My question is about Iran not them.

[MrDuffy81]

Why would they settle?

Do you think that ANYONE, AT ALL, FOR ANY GOOD REASON, should be able to FORCE Iran to stay as a third world country?

IRAN HAS BEEN MADE TO LOOK LIKE A TERROR SUPPORTER, BUT IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE MANIPULATION OF THINGS, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE USA AND BRITAIN ARE CRIMINAL, AND ARE SCHEMING TO KEEP ALLM OF ISREALS ENEMIES WEAK.

THEY ARE ALSO TRYING TO START WW3 WITH RUSSIA, BY LYING WITH THE MEDIA.

THE USA, BRITAIN, AND ISREAL ARE THE TERRORISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[straightchris]

Right so it's none of my business then...

Is Iran looking into the option of using thorium?
