Former CIA agent Larry Johnson delivered the Democrats
weekly radio address today. Johnson is a registered Republican, who was
recommended to the CIA by Republican Senator Orin Hatch.
Since the Valerie Plame case has been getting the nation
spotlight, so has Johnson. He has been very outspoken on the wrong doings of the
administration. He testified yesterday before the Democratic Policy Committee on
the ramifications the ousting of an agent has. He has also been on numerous talk
shows and receiving a lot of press over this issue of national security.
Larry Johnson should be given a medal. He realizes the
crime committed by the White House was about partisan smear tactics, and the
victim of it turned out to be our intelligence community. Larry has does not
matter about red or blue. He knows that this issue needs to be addressed by
Americans.
Republicans continue to stonewall on it and generating
smear campaigns against not only Joe Wilson but also Valerie Plame. This is how
the right feels about people who risk their lives to defend our country – they
smear them. There is nothing more vile in politics than the ignorance the RNC is
showing in this issue. We definitely need more Larry Johnson’s out there.
