This whole thing is just blown way out of proportion! If this woman is a specialist in "nonconvention weapons" what the hell is she doing married to an AMERICAN AMBASSADOR?? Tell me, isn't the diplomatic corp the first place you would look for a spy?? I mean, if the CIA couldn't find anyone more "covert" worthy than the Ambassador's wife, we are, indeed, in deep trouble!

Usually, when changes occur in a "covert's" life, such as marrying a high profile person (i.e. Ambassador), that person is dropped from covert ops, or they should be anyway.

Which, as far as I can tell, was the case with Ms. Plame-Wilson. Indeed, it is open to question whether or not her employment with the CIA was truly a secret. However, it's doubtful that these issues will be contested prior to an indictment.

It's being blown out of proportion because it was about the only thing the Democrats and lefties had.

If anything critical was revealed, it wasn't her ID that was so secret. That's all small stuff. The problem may be that by bringing her into it, it exposed the front company for which she worked. That's bad because a lot of other people may have been using that front company too, and now anyone associated with the company will be seen as a spy.
