The central figure in the CIA leak scandal, Valerie Plame, is now shopping a book proposal, The New York Times reports Thursday.
Naturally, this comes by way of a leak--but this time not from Robert Novak or Scooter Libby. It comes from what he Times calls "two people familiar with the project." It adds: "Both people were granted anonymity because their publishing companies have signed nondisclosure agreements about the content of the proposal."
No details were available about the content. Her husband, Joseph Wilson, wrote a book himself, published last year.
Plame, who was outed as a CIA operative by columnist Novak (with a little help from his friends), retired from the agency in January. She told E&P's Joe Strupp last weekend that she has been enjoying raising her children, which she described as a tougher chore than being a CIA officer.
How long before it is in the bargain bin along with the multititudes of unsold books by her retarded husband.
Does anyone other than the dinosaur media still believe this?
The tone in this is just obnoxious.
Wonderful, another scumbag seeking to make big money from betraying America. Bad enough that we have had to endure 3 years of outrageous nonsense from the Wilsons which has badly distorted our national debate, but now she wants to get big bucks for writing an apologia for her treasonous behavior:

The DUmmies.
Whatever, presstitutes. The moonbats and their money are easily parted. Oh, at some point, do tell them that W has nearly 3 years left....
Just what could she put in a book that would be worth paying for.
She's had her 15 minutes of fame and needs to sleek back into her liberal sewer.
I'm curious - can you name one act by Plame that could fairly be described as "treasonous"? I'm not talking about something you just make up or speculate upon - rather something you could actually point to some evidence of?
Guess she was really burning the midnight oil to uncover the facts about Iran's WMD program...NOT
Not to mention those of Der Schlickmeister and the Hildebeast...
Will she talk about her streetwalking days?
or her connections to....
R-U-S-S-E-R-T?
And she won't be disclosing ANY secrets in this book, right?
How can she discuss her time in the "organization" and the role of the front she contributed to the DNC under without giving out pieces of the "puzzle"?
Even with the DNC buying bulk copies, they flopped.
Joe Wilson described her as "GI Jane". You don't think he would lie, do you? /sarcasm
She is part of a shadow government of Clinton holdovers who disagree with the current administration on policy and use the power of their unelected offices to oppose these policies.
When Bush/US is attempting to make the case for war and the holdovers are attempting to spin opposition to war (AID/COMFORT to the enemy), there could be treason at play.
But we don't prosecute for treason much these days. Jane Fonda was never charged even though she sat on an enemy cannon during war and posed for photos.
I bet it'll be a good one. A lot of smart career women would love to know Val's shopping secrets.
trea·son [from dictionary.com]
1. Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
2. A betrayal of trust or confidence.
There was no agenda at play?
Gotcha.
So you can't point to any action of hers that is treasonous, you just presume she did something treasonous because of her husband.
At least you admit it.
Look, you can sit there and make up stuff that you think happened or that you think Plame did all day long. I don't have time to respond to mere musings.
Do you know of anything she - not her husband, but HER - has done that could even conceivably be called treasonous? And if the answer is yes, can you point to any EVIDENCE that she actually did it - evidence, not musings?
"How long before it is in the bargain bin along with the multititudes of unsold books by her retarded husband."
Along with all of the Clintoon Books by the Clintoons and about them.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
Who selected him for the trip? If she doesn't deal with these issues in her book, it won't amount to anything.
Perhaps this could be used as a replacement for the "Sear's Catalog" in the bathroom.
Makes you wonder about the CIA!
Editor & Publisher is so much garbage.
I asked what she did that was treason. You purported to respond, but with wild, unsupported speculation. Ya got anything that isn't wild, unsupported speculation?
Sure I admit it..... don't 'gotcha' me....... it's not my fault these scumbags have (so far) played most of their game behind the scenes. Yes, I am making all sorts of inferences, guesses, and assumptions based upon the very limited information that we do have, because the perps have NOT had the courage or honesty to actually lay it all out openly. IF we could somehow have a transcript of every conversation and email, etc. between Joe and/or Valerie, their co-conspirators, and the various 'reporters' who have flogged this so dishonestly then we could actually have the evidence (or absence thereof) which you demand. I am sorry that very often scumbags do not let us all know what they are really doing.
Gotcha.
As long as you either fawn over the Clintoons or trash GWB, you are guaranteed a breathless, thumbs up review from the NY Times. Too bad it doesn't seem to help sales. LOL
Perhaps this could be used as a replacement for the "Sear's Catalog" in the bathroom.
Only if she includes appropriate photos of herself. Feel free to use your own definition of appropriate.
Yep. Though their hard work and trouble simply means exposing the leftist movement for what it really is. A sack of lying POS.
Her and hubby will walk away with money in their pockets. Time to hop in the convertable and go speeding off in the sunset laughing their guts out.
"Only if she includes appropriate photos of herself. Feel free to use your own definition of appropriate."
Kinda like pictures you would use for "bombing runs" while camped out on the can I would imagine.
Surely this is what all Top Secret-Undercover-Spy-CIA operatives always do, right?
I guess she's writing fiction?
Wilson Says He Fears CIA Leak About His Wife Put Her Life in Danger
by William C. Mann
October 5, 2003WASHINGTON - The former diplomat whose wife’s identity as a CIA officer was disclosed by the Bush administration said Sunday that the leak has put her life in danger, and the government is not protecting her.
"There have been a number of other people who’ve come out and suggested that perhaps this does make her a target," Joseph Wilson said.
"We, of course, as a consequence of that, have begun to rethink our own security posture," he told CBS’ "Face the Nation." …
Sen. Chuck Hagel, a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was asked on CBS whether the government should provide protection for the Wilsons.
"If there is the least possibility, most remote possibility, of her life being in danger, then the government owes that person protection and security," said Hagel, R-Neb.
Yeah, the Plames have re-thought their "security posture" all right. Their financial security posture.
Witness this article, one of a thousand fawning media pieces. It is from the Plames’ house guest Richard Leiby of the Washington Post:
Man Behind the Furor - Wilson: Envoy With an Independent Streak
By Richard LeibyWashington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, October 1, 2003; Page A01As the world now knows, Wilson is married to Valerie Wilson, nee Plame. She is his third wife. She is 40, slim, blonde and the mother of their 3-year-old twins. In the photos in his office, she has the looks of a film star.
"She is really quite amazing," Wilson said. "We were just discussing today who would play her in the movie," he cracked.
Note that this was written four days before the AP article immediately above it.
If this story hasn’t been the biggest hoax ever perpetuated by the media, I don’t know what is.
Hey lugsoul, I've missed seeing you lately! ;-)
Can we just crucify her for poor taste in marrying such an a$$hole as Joe Wilson???
Pinz
Well, if she's a covert agent for the CIA, she certainly can't write about her work. If she's concerned for her physical safety and security, she can't write about her home life.
What's left? Great commutes in a Porsche? Great scarf and sunglasses combinations???
I mean really, who on earth is advising these leaches??? Wonder who she plans to wear to the Inaugural Balls in '09. LOL
Pinz
LOL Love your tag line. :-(
Pinz
Though I will add, just based on the pics from the past couple of weeks,ol' Valerie is looking pretty hot these days. The attraction to a doughy guy like Joey is somewhat mystifying.
Going the book route because Playboy wouldn't include her in "Girls of the CIA."
Secret Agent Gal: 00Zero!
