Crooks and Liars has a good audio of a radio interview with Larry Johnson, a one-time CIA agent (under the first President Bush, mostly, I believe) who worked with Valerie Plame. He cuts through the lies, details the damage to our nation's security and is basically gobsmacked that any American -- much less any Republican like himself -- could defend Bush, Rove et al for outing a covert CIA agent.

Here's a direct link to the radio interview hosted on CrooksandLiars. It is chilling to hear Johnson detail the destruction Rove has wrought:

1. Johnson has been furious since the leak.

Said he would never vote repub again if the administration didn't fire whoever was responsible. He was at Quantico w/Plame & only knew her as Valerie P. He said she was covert.

He was on Schultz's show last week & said voting repub must have been a momentary brain spasm.

2. Excellent interview. I wish Larry Johnson was going on all the news

shows giving interviews. He is extremely effective and is one of the few people actually in a position to truly know something about the ramifications of the outing.

3. Is is true she has not been covert in the last 5 years?

Don't tell me they will get off on a technicality.

4. According to Johnson's interview

w/Schultz; once covert always covert. Her status at the time of the leak has nothing to do w/anything. By outing her, her contacts were put in danger.

6. A CIA covert Operation was destroyed.

This goes beyond V. Plane. It is about DSM and the RW Machine is on high alert Attack.
