BJ over oil for DIck?

Brewster Jennings. What were you thinking?

This article was posted by Buttercup McToots in CorpGovActivist's most elcelent thread, containing this nugget:

The Daily Kos reported in July 2005, that Valerie Plame, who was "outed" to journalists as a CIA undercover employee as early as June 2003, was working for a CIA cover business called Brewster Jennings and Associates and that this entity, shut down after the "outing", apparently had the responsibility to monitor developments in weapons of mass destruction. But it was involved in reporting on the oil trade, particularly as it related to Saudi Arabia and the Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO). ARAMCO is a combine, involving the Saudi royal family and major U.S. oil companies, that runs Saudi Arabia's oil fields. Plame described herself to friends as an energy analyst.

Depending on Plame's responsibilities within Brewster Jennings, she would have been in a position to know a little or a great deal about Marc Rich, his colleagues and relationships that may exist between Rich, Cheney and Halliburton.

Now I've always been leaning towards the nuclear trade via Dubai and Khan linking into the motive for dismantling Brewster Jennings, but, this? Could it be it was just over oil? Maybe the unmetered flow from Iraqi fields made it worthwhile, especially when oil is inflated.

What do we really know? How many investigations towards the Saudis were, um, interupted? Does anyone remember if Fitz obtained info from the Energy Policy Meeting?

There's some really nice stories breaking about Cheney and foriegn official bribes right now, could we have turned a corner?

1. Good message. REALLY, REALLY SHITTY subject line.

2. we will NEVER get to the bottom of this, as we will NEVER

have alternate energy on any scale.

ARAMCO is the most powerful company in the world

people will DIE, as did Salem bin Laden, no matter who they are, to keep their secrets

how many members of the Saudi Royal family have DIED to keep these secrets?

do a little checking on that last sentence, but it's been written about by writers who wear other than tinfoil hats when they venture outside

3. I watched dick with snufulufulgus earlier,

and I conclude he is not human. No matter the "people" do not accept or support his glorious war effort, no matter many in his own party are calling him incompetent, he intends to go forward full speed ahead. Completely insane disregard for our constitution or the checks and balances of our system of government.

He exudes hatred for all of us, referring to Osama's statement that AmeriKans do not have the stomach for the fight, and only HE is capable of knowing what is right.

I think he is absolutely too arrogant to fear the repercussions of his corruption.

4. I think there are many reasons for taking her out, as you've noted.

The immediate biggie, to me, was getting a key CIA program that was investigatoing WMD in the Middle East. They were building a case to invade Iraq and this program was problematic. I think they wanted us to think it was political payback to the Ambassador, but this was always the real goal.

One clue...why would Cheney put his action plan to go after Ambassador Wilson on the NYT editorial and then keep it for posterity? Plausible deniability and misdirection, maybe?

5. I think he did it sincerely

He is a cruel fuck. I think he truly wanted to destroy every aspect of her as an example, or simply for his personal pleasure.
