Valerie Plame WilsonThe former covert CIA agent and her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, lost their place in Washington's Republican circles after late columnist Robert Novak outed her as a covert CIA operative. A New York Times profile shows how the two have rebuilt their lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She works as a consultant against nuclear proliferation; he runs the Africa division of a global construction company. Their 10-year-old twins go to public school. A biopic called "Fair Game" about the Wilsons' Bush administration travails, starring Sean Penn and Naomi Watts, opens next month.
The 55-year-old, a veteran Navy pilot, reportedly brought an Atlantic Southeast twin-engine jet to a safe landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York this weekend when its landing gear failed to deploy. Now, the Daily News reports that some of the 64 people aboard the Delta flight are calling the pilot "our Capt. Sully," in reference to retired pilot Chesley Sullenberger, who landed a plane in the Hudson River in 2009. Assisting Conroyd was his 33-year-old co-pilot, Larkin Newby.
A man convicted of raping and killing 15-year-old Susan Jordan, and then taunting her mother from a nearby pay phone, could become the first inmate on California’s death row to be executed in nearly five years. Executions had been on hold since 2006, after a challenge was filed over whether the state's lethal injection drugs were a humane way to end a life. Last week, a court decision allowed the executions to resume. Brown has been on death row for 30 years, after committing the crime in 1980. His attorneys are appealing his case.

She is a grandmother, a cancer survivor and a former socialist revolutionary. In this weekend's elections in Brazil, Dilma Rousseff is also the overwhelming favorite to be elected president. A profile in Britain's Independent newspaper indicates that if she is elected, Rousseff could surpass Angela Merkel and Hillary Clinton to become the most powerful woman in the world. Brazil has a population of 200 million, and its growth is rivaled only by China, the paper reports.
The man who turned an Associated Press photograph of candidate Barack Obama into a colorized and iconic image of hope tells the National Journal that he is losing faith in the president.

Disgusting
Please go away! You two are a complete disgrace to your country! % off!
Is this really the place for brainless rants? I think FOX has aplace for your opinion. Why don't you go away and leave this space for people who actually think.
And MSNBC has a place for you!
Shepard Fairey – If you had put your faith in Jesus (as you should have) you wouldn't be second guessing yourself right now. And, quite frankly, had you put your faith in Jesus to begin with, you would never have supported Obama in the first place. The man stands against all that is Holy through his rampant support of gay/lesbian activities, gay marriage, and abortion (infanticide/murder).
I can't believe that you believe this. I would keep that information private if I was you. It makes you look stupid instead of religous.
Your ignorance knows no bounds.
Valerie Plame-Wilson was needlessly endangered when her cover was blown by the very people she was serving.
Me I knw even understand wetin una dey talk
I wonder how many foreign operatives were neutralized or killed as a result of the Bush adminstrations outing of her for political gain. I guess they either never thought about that, or did – but JUST DIDN'T CARE. I can only imagine how many Intelligence Oversight assets pulled their hair out and walked....
Valerie Plame Wilson and her husband are American hero's. They are honest and good people who were demonised and used by the bush administration. People shoud be in jail for what they did to this couple. Uglie is winning in America and the world is watching.
The Wilsons ran a political hit operation on the Bush administration, pretending to represent the vice president with her husband explicitly saying he reported directly to Cheney. That was not true. It was a put-up job from the start and the pair deserved the smack down they got for it. As for their position in "Republican Circles, I recall an article about Joseph Wilson's activities on the anti-war circuit during the run up to the Iraq war. I kind of doubt the "Republican Circles" notion.
Did the author mean to suggest "Democratic circles", instead of "Republican circles". I thought the last major act of Joe Wilson was being a consultant to John F. Kerry's 2004 campaign. That campaign let him go after inconsistencies with his testimony regarding his claims about his findings in Niger.

Before you tea party wackos have too much fun with this, from the interview with Shepard:
-–
Fairey explained that when he came up with the poster in 2008, he was trying to find a single image that embodied the issues he cared most about - promoting health care, helping labor, and curtailing lobbyists. He likened the issues to projectiles.
"Looking at Obama's standpoint on various policies, it was like, 'Why throw all these particular projectiles over the wall... when I could put all those things in one projectile that I could hurl over the wall,'" Fairey said in a phone interview from Los Angeles, where he lives. "Obama was the delivery device in theory. Now, I realize that he maybe is not the correct delivery device, and I'll just deal with those issues separately."

So, like a lot of progressives, he expected a lot of progressive change, and didn't get it. I expected a lot of progressive change that I didn't get either. Was it the fault of Obama, or the fault of his opposition? Either way, Shepard and myself aren't wishing we'd voted for McCain or something, we're wishing Obama had been *more liberal* then he's wound up being. You'd think that this would make Republicans and teabaggers happy, but no, they're gonna keep painting Obama as the biggest commie since Trotsky.
Here's the truth:
1. He just ain't that liberal. Yeah, he was slightly more liberal then Kerry or Clinton, but that's because both of them were dead center "Third Way" centrists, putting Obama at just a bit left of center. Progressives like myself, democratic socialists, west coast liberals, it seems like we expected a dyed-in-the-wool Progressive Liberal. Now, I knew we weren't going to get that (because this is a democracy and the majority isn't that liberal, just like how the majority isn't as conservative as the Tea Party), but I had *Hope* that he might be more progressive than he seemed.
2. Obama likes to begin negotiations from the middle compromise position. He starts at what he thinks would be the most reasonable compromise. Then he negotiates away constantly towards the opposition's position, and winds up with something far to the right of whatever he'd first tried to get, and the right still blasts him for it. There's a reason that the health care bill looks exactly like the Republican health care proposition from 1993, and there's a reason the Republicans are acting like they hate it now.
Now, as a centrist President, I think he's doing a pretty good job, even if he does try to negotiate too much with people who paint him as the Antichrist and who will just turn around and say he didn't try to negotiate at all. I'd like him to be more forceful, but overall, he's better then a whole lot of alternatives.
I'm not a wacko but geez man you ain't far from it!
Guess CNN's not interested to post anything not matching their censor...perhaps that's the reason Fox has a 4 to 1 viewership ratio.
Is this CNN or The Onion?
My bad. This was meant for another article.
Look how all they do is go right back to arguing thier politics.
