| 17. If true, they will suicide him |

“The left complained about how Valerie Plame’s identity was compromised for political reasons. A special prosecutor appointed. Well, what happened to me was worse. People acting for political reasons disclosed not only the existence of a very sensitive program but my name along with it.”
Of course, he may be lying about this: he's just the sort of self-absorbed egomaniac who would lie about something such as this. But if this is true, it does explain a lot, number one being the untouchability of Blackwater/Xe: it was doing the CIA's bidding.
He may find, though, that there are more than a few of us on the left who opportunistically jump on this bandwagon. CIA asset or not, Prince knows where the bodies are buried, quite literally. Plus, outing Plame may seem to be a one-off, but outing two CIA assets by the Bush administration is a pattern, a pattern accompanied by various other possible charges, such as obstruction of justice and conspiracy.
If true, this really could be the nail in the coffin of the Bush administration, assuming anyone has the guts to follow up on this.
