[edit] Tagged article

I came across this article in reading Plame affair legal questions and realized that there were no citations of sources in it. Much of it may come from Toensing's biography posted on her law firm website. The article does not appear to be entirely written following W:NPOV and may appear to be an advertisement for Toensing and her law firm. Originally, it failed to mention that Toensing is married to Joseph E. diGenova, her law partner in the firm. It also fails to mention her political biases that become clear when one watches her deliver commentary on media talk shows. Even though the article does not appear very short, I also tagged it with a "legal-stub" tag to alert people that it needs improved development. --NYScholar 23:07, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I listened to Toensing speak before the House investigative committee on the Plame Leak. She has ZERO credibility. It was obvious that she was trying to divert the heat off the White House and onto the CIA for not doing more to protect Plame's identity.

Ms Toensing is a lawyer, and lawyers are there to represent their clients. In investigations involving classified information, the primary focus is on whether or not the information is classified, and whether or not there was a compromise.

Her primary role was/is to muddy the investigation on behalf of her "client(s)" whoever they are.

It was obvious from the hearing that there was, in fact, a wreckless violation of our National Security Act which could, could already have, or will in the future endanger U.S. personnel.

Ms. Plame was the most credible witness at the hearing.

Ms Toensing can be placed in the same category as Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh.

Near the end of today's hearings Henry Waxman read from a letter from the CIA (which was cleared by them) that stated:

"...at the time of the publication of Robert Novak's column on July 14, 2003 Mrs. Wilson's CIA employment status was covert. This was classified information"
