Talk:Brewster Jennings & Associates

message: I don t understand how no other agent has been discovered. Usually, I think a few agents share the same cover. The CIA doesn t like it, but it is easier that way. You can't make up a whole company just for one person.
If a journalist could find out more about other agents, this would show that the leak was serious (and it would be legal for a journalist to out them)
:There is no reason not to make up a company for one agent. All this cover seemed to involve was some stationary, a mail box and a phone. They apparently never even had an office. People who have nothing to do with spying often have several business names. The point is the CIA took steps to provide her with a cover. That would appear to meet one of the tests under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act --agr 20:01, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I addressed this issue with a new edit. As soon as the Novak column ran, it was pretty much assumed that her company was a front and that other undercover agents worked there as well, meaning their cover was blown as well. Daniel Case 05:20, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

text: I don't know. But I believe the company no longer exists. Can someone confirm and add to the article? I too am quite surprised no one has ever publicly outed anyone else who was part of this company. I suppose one of the reasons is the only people who were aware or had heard of this company were those who were under surveliance and although I'm sure they're pleased to have found out it was a CIA front, they'll prefer to use the information they have on former covert operatives for their own purposes rather then publicly reveal it.

thread_title:  Heading? 

message: I'm reinserting the opening phrase about Brewster Jennings & Associates was a front company set up by the CIA for Valerie Plame, an operative for the Agency whose identity was possibly disclosed for political retaliation. - if there are any issues with the wording, I'd welcome seeing them addressed on the talk page, instead of just saying that CNN and Fox News (Which are opposite ends of the political spectrum) "don't count". The wording is informative enough to cause people to go "Hrmm, who's this now?" and click through to Plame's article, without actually naming any possibly guilty parties. It's as NPOV as I can tell, but I welcome debate on the subject Sherurcij 16:34, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I tried to remove the section "B-J Cover was thin at best" but wound up replacing it by accident. This seems to have been corrected by Sherucij, but when I look at the page, the section is still there. Yet if I go to edit the page, it is not there. Is anyone else getting this problem?--csloat 18:15, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Otherwise, just hit "Shift" and "F5" at the same time (the function keys along the top of your keyboard), to cause a "hard refresh" which will discard the cache of that site in your internet history and re-load it from scratch :) Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead)  18:39, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  weird database issue? 

message: Claims that it was a hoax. Kudos to the editors here for keeping it out of the article. --Paul E. Ester 17:08, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Point of information: This URL resolves to "The Ellmann Hoax: Inside the Experiment" (title). --NYScholar 18:57, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What is the relationship between this section information provided by Paul E. Ester and the source by Carolyn Kuhn that someone inserted in the article Valerie Plame whose reference citation I corrected there and also provided in this article. Is this article part of a "hoax"? If so please advise and remove if it is not a reliable source according to Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Thank you. --NYScholar 19:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed it from both articles: This is the source info. (in note format):
Cf. Carolyn Kuhn, "Libby Trial: Plame, Brewster, Ellmann, Edwards, Dennehy, Jennings: Not Secret?", online posting, dc.indymedia.org (Washington, D.C. "newswire"), January 31, 2007, accessed May 5, 2007. [Kuhn states that "Brewster Jennings" was a front for Valerie Plame, Jean C. Edwards, Robert Ellmann, Paul Jennings (of the Anglo-Irish Bank), and others and that the Boston accounting firm "Burke Dennehy" at the same address and phone number was in turn a front for the firm called "Brewster Jennings".] Cf.

thread_title: Ellmann

message: I don't know how to integrate the information coming for Sibel Edmonds into the article, so I put it here.
I quote from the following interview with the makers of the film Kill the messenger:
: In November 2005, we learnt from the Turkish paper Hurriyet that Plame was investigating Turkey, but not only that: she was investigating the ATC! Our intuition had proved right.
: Later, in April 2006, we confronted Sibel with this set of facts and ask her to go on the record. Sibel’s line about Plame and Brewster Jennings is just gold. She said: "During my time at the FBI, I never heard the name Valerie Plame - but if you are asking me about Brewster Jennings, that's another story, a story that I cannot comment on because I cannot talk about anything that I did at the FBI - and the targets and the details of the investigations." The message is crystal clear: there are mentions of Brewster Jennings on the wiretaps! Praises to Sibel to be so smart in front of a camera.
