Juan Cole on The House Subcommittee On Intelligence Policy, Iran:
First of all, former CIA professional Larry Johnson and Jim Marcinkowski <http://www.tpmcafe.com/blog/coffeehouse/2006/aug/24/republican_chutzpah_on_iran> point out that the Republicans have a lot of damn gall. It was high members of this Republican administration who leaked to the Iranians and the whole world the name of Valerie Plame <http://www.juancole.com/2006/02/cheney-authorized-libby-to-disclose.html>, an undercover CIA operative who spent her professional career combatting the proliferation of WMD and was, at the time she was betrayed by Traitor Rove and his merry band, *working on Iran*. Had it not been for these Republican figures, none of whom has yet been punished in any way for endangering US national security, we might know more about Iran.
