7/18/2005 05:11:00 PMCrooks and Liars has a good audio of a radio interview withLarry Johnson, a one-time CIA agent (under the first PresidentBush, mostly, I believe) who worked with Valerie Plame. Hecuts through the lies, details the damage to our nation'ssecurity 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. As Johnson points out,this is the first time in our HISTORY that a political operative atthe White House has purposefully outed a covert CIA agent.Thanks to threader soccer mom for pointing this out to us.
