Update [2005-7-14 15:42:59 by susanhu]: I’ve noted some quibbling about which letter/petition to sign, etc. JUST SIGN THEM. Reps. like Jay Inslee — who is a longtime personal friend of Joe Wilson — need to know that there’s an OCEAN full of people like us who SUPPORT HIM! Sign ’em all! Jay Inslee’s only dogs in this hunt are that he thinks Karl Rove breached national security and he knows Wilson intimately. Inslee has no trouble getting reelected. He’s not running for president (although I wish he would). SUPPORT THE GUY!


Open Letter to President Bush:

President Bush has repeatedly promised to hold accountable those who leaked the identity of CIA operative, Valerie Plame. Join us in letting President Bush know that leaking this information is serious and that he should keep his promise to hold his staff accountable for their actions. Please sign the letter below.  – Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.)


Let’s pass this far and wide! Below, Jay Inslee’s e-mail:

“In the next few days, I will be joining with Representative Rush Holt and other colleagues to introduce a Resolution of Inquiry in Congress. The resolution will demand that the Bush Administration turn over all information relating to the disclosure of Valerie Plame’s identity as a CIA agent.

Our message is simple: enough is enough. It is time to be honest with the American people, and I’m asking you to join me to demand the truth by signing this letter to the President.

Tomorrow, we will be holding a press conference to introduce the Resolution of Inquiry, and I’d like to walk into that room knowing that you are with me. >>Sign the letter.

For the last two years, the White House has provided no information about who leaked undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame’s name to conservative columnist Robert Novak. On multiple occasions, the President and his spokesman have bluntly stated they would investigate and punish those responsible. And yet, two years later, there are still no answers.

As you may remember, Valerie Plame’s husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson, joined me in Shoreline a month after Novak’s column for a forum on the intelligence failures leading up to the Iraq War. I had invited Wilson because he had discredited one of the Administration’s justifications for invading Iraq — that Saddam Hussein has attempted to purchase uranium in Niger to use in a nuclear weapon.

It was at that forum that Wilson first publicly suggested that Karl Rove was involved in the exposure of his wife’s job at the CIA: “At the end of the day, it’s of keen interest to me to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs.

And trust me, when I use that name, I measure my words.”
