Tarkan,
IMO : the question from the beginning has been: was the name leak for political gain.
If it was a question of written basic standard straightforward strict law and regulations owing to mechanisms within your own government, i.e. in regards to a statue of limitations on officers NOC nonwithstanding or not, the publics curiousity would never have been aroused enough to warrant the slightest media attention.
Apparently you are not allowed to drop names of agents period, it seem's to reporters et al , and esp it seems to stir contentions and arouse tempests in tea pots...esp when is concerning matters as highly politically sensitive (and not national security sensitive) as motivations for a nation to go to war.
The ensuing controversy that ensued was enough to distract readers from Mr.Wilsons articles and "testimony" in the annals of the public press.
When an investigation began and now ended, it appears Mr. Libby was culpable in obstructing the course of justive which would ostensibly end its course and path of action by vanquishing the quest for answers.
In doing so he broke the law. Unwittingly perhaps but that in itself is a further question that will no doubt be pursued with vigour by his party in an effort to further exonerate him self.
Theres no doubt its political but it does make one wonder with both amazement and admiration at the turning of wheel s at the justice system in motion.
At least from this vantage point in Canada.
Yours with regards
Mach

BFC POLITICS
note to coldharvest: no such thing as stupid questions. some might even argue that further by saying: only stupid replies.
It took more nrg for Kurt to ban me than to simply let all posters live and let live without his casual interference.
Unlike Mr Libby, Kurt seems to have an exacting type memory. The difference is in how it serves. His seems to serve him solely to justify repeated banning whereas my recall ability seems to indicate that although a few remaining questions about the incident remain, I do have both feet firmly planted in the present.
Unlike him, constantly quoting and referring to yesteryear and even years before that.
Thats called living in the past. How ironic that natives have often been disparingly told to get with the 21st century. Now that the opportunity looms on the horizon, its people like cold and kurt who stand to be left behind by not adapting. Of course, they can always trade faces between on line and off line, be one person online and another in rl (criminal trademarks I take it)
but there is no real lead to take here. Only a course correction. Everyone in the world knows that by now. Thats why native american wisdom gets a shunt. But it is funny how a return to it now makes sense.
As indicated by the clear political stance of all who support Kurts ban on my posting, its clear he just doesnt like me but also allows him self to be used by the right wingers as the perfect excuse to carry out his ban and clearly sales and people using the Black Flag to sell things (or promote them-lol) is not the issue.
The issue is: who gets to use their political stance to influence peddle to help Kurt reach his decision? The political right.
IN the case of Libby, I think Fitz was as unpolitically un-biased as they come. Which is exactly why its a beatific thing to see the wheels of justice in motion. Even for an instant.
caffeinatedSee, now take a look @ this .
The mortality in South Africa and the Philippines fades away to insignificance. Here, in the heart of peace, is where the blood is being shed; and here not even the civilized rules of warfare obtain, for the women and children and babes in the arms are killed just as ferociously as the men are killed. War! In England, every year, 500,000 men, women, and children, engaged in the various industries, are killed and disabled, or are injured to disablement by disease.
In the West End eighteen per cent of the children die before five years of age; in the East End fifty-five per cent of the children die before five years of age. And there are streets in London where, out of every one hundred children born in a year, fifty die during the next year; and of the fifty that remain, twenty-five die before they are five years old. Slaughter! Herod did not do quite so badly -- his was a mere fifty per cent bagatelle mortality.
Something perfectly fine to post in conjunction with travel to the worlds most dangerous places.
Something compatible for anonymous posters to revel in, to stimulate discussion, talk about and add and tuck away with the various compendium sources of info that makes one appear more well rounded.
And now this.

I wonder if "Coldharvest" knows anything about the rigors of travel on or about the turn of the century. U-h-h, speaking of "open mouth"... :O
WE can see here that the forum is not a place for healthy and like minded individuals to congregate. By appearance, the forum is a place where individuals go strictly to attempt to DOMINATE others.
In other forum circles, threads that do not hold and fancy your attention or interest are routinely ignored, other forum users whom you do not identify with are not routinely engaged, let alone targeted as is deemed culpable by the boards operators and owners.
Normally I wouldnt comment but this was too good to pass by. Its a good post, unfortunately Kurt the moderator seems to be setting the trend for people to disengage from thinking capacity, like the mainstream news itself, choosing instead to let the board thrive on and let 'reaction' drive its main engine.
Supposedly in theory this is why we should remain critical of the main stream media, but the BFC preaches one thing in principle and yet remains in tandem lock step with the very institutions it criticizes. Without which btw, it wold forever be lost in the world of ALTERNATE media.
Unlike Machs Cafe eh? I dont need BFC, but they set themselves up as an example of what typically happens when anti-societal elements manage to create a hovel and haven for themselves.
I now proposition that whether or not the entire Internet is in fact entirely a tool that is by itself and through its whole construct: ANTI-SOCIETAL will one day be a question asked by dozens of experts.
I believe this question to be on the future cutting edge of societys current preoccupation and interest in useful and un-uaeful information.
Too many people, the Internet is a dream world. Truly.
In turn of the century London, someone like Coldharvest would simply be living and waking up to a literal nightmare and a foil of lightstalker, who would simply wake up everyday wondering what has become of life and death on the other side of the river.
Unfortunately though, no one on the Flag enjoys carrying things to such depths as to where we have all been in the past 100 years.
"The future is now, the future is here and thats all there is to it" is the going gamble and cause for excitement .
To me thats just reallly boring.

And no, lol, Kurt, I am noit going to respond to your backbiting on the thread I created for 'Mach wants to know'..
seeing how everyone is so concerned more with
"BRITNEYS SUICIDE ATTEMPT!!!"
as reported by News of the World and National Enquirer.

...,when, the Internet becomes a source of fascination all to itself and unto its own?
When will the eventual confluence of information from disparate sources meet, tangle, unravel and form again to make a tapestry of truth we can all understand and appreciate?
As the glaciers melt along with barriers between people commerce and trade, ocean levels may rise, weather may play havoc and we will be forced to become New Yorkers again one and all rather than Californians on a good day off.
Dont bother if you cant understand this just yet.
But this is fascinating unto itself, and as I find it, so you may very well find it the same way too.

I dont know why I was ranting earlier but offer no apologies should you wander in here and discover my distaste for wearers of pink camouflage which has no useful purpose but to visually insult green camou, tan camou, even blue and white...so..........- ,--yah!
