Karen Hughes: Out Plame Leaker
snip>
Speaking of Hughes, in her acclaimed book "Ten Minutes from Normal," the former White House counselor opines about the investigation into the leak on Valerie Plame . She suspects columnist Robert D. Novak 's sources may have been in one of the agencies, not the White House.

"But regardless of the source, the leak compromised the confidential identity of a longtime public servant, which was wrong, and unfair to her and those who worked with her. Whoever did it should come forward and not hide behind journalistic ethics for his or her self-protection."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/21/AR2005072102567.html

Sounds like she was DAMN sure no one would find out what her comrades were up to. Can it be that she didn't know? Maybe this is what bought her a trip back to Texas to spend time with the family.

1. I find it highly unlikely she didn't know
She's closer to * than almost anybody else.

2. Diversionary tactic
By Hughes' implication of "one of the agencies rather than the White House" and concern that the source "not hide behind journalistic ethics", she is deliberately trying to divert the blame anywhere other than where she knew perfectly well it belonged. And now this transparent liar is going to be paid to "upgrade our image" in the Middle East and beyond. Note to Karen: they don't hate us for our freedom, they hate us for your lies.

5. James Carville is an ass
he's and his freak show marriage are trotted out every once in a while to the great amusement of the sheeple. He's a partisan hack who hasn't done anything useful in years.

10. Karen Hughes knows when Bush falls down and hits his head
in spite of how hard they work to cover it up from the rest of us. She CERTAINLY knows everything about the Plame outing. And she's helping cover it up too.
