So, what do you think?
Does this change anything?

So the fact she outed herself means SHE violated CIA rules and OPSEC.
It does mean SHE should be punished.
In effect, it changes nothing.

Then if she was covert she had NO business using her hubby to out of Africa against the US foreign policy on security issues.
Now why oh why was this game successfully used under the Clintons?????

Ms. Wilson always traveled under a cover identity sometimes in true name and sometimes in aliasSoooo, if you use your real name you're still under a cover identity? I don't think so.

So, what do you think? I think it's from CBS. The network of Dan Rather.

In a court filing today, Patrick Fitzgerald provides a summary of Valerie Plame Wilson's status with the CIA's Counterproliferation Division at the time she was outed to the press by members of the Bush administration. By Richard Armitage, yet Scooter Libby was targeted.
Fitzfong went after political game, not the actual wrongdoer.
What a surprise.

She provided her own personal information and background to be published in Who’s Who. Sounds like she told on herself.

Doesn't change anything.
Her "name" was known from her own entry in a Who's Who publication. The fact she was employed at the CIA in Langley was known from the parking sticker on her vehicle.
There was nothing to leak.
Besides, there's no way to authenticate the information in this supposed filing.
More importantly, Wilson's SECOND wife, a French undercover agent, had her cover blown by the Wilson and Plame bleatings.

When traveling overseas, Ms. Wilson always traveled under a cover identity sometimes in true name and sometimes in alias but always using cover whether official or non-official cover (NOC) with no ostensible relationship to the CIA I thought this was SOP for CIA regardless of status.

This is shocking! Joe Wilson belongs in jail!!
How dare he knowingly involve a cover agent in ongoing public controversy by writing articles for the New York Times about evnts in which said agent is intrinsically involved!!!!!

That might have been especially true since the leaks seem to have been authorized at very high levelsThe author read that somewhere...
He wrote it down and then he read it.

My spouse has
never written a highly controversial Op-Ed for the New York
Times and has never been on a TV talking-head show.
I guess that means I'm deep, deep, deep cover!

BS, if she was walking to and from her car in the parking lot of the CIA office in DC she’s not COVERT... period.
Anyone could see her entering and leaving the facility, there is no way you have “covert” if you are walking into and out of the building in front of the public every day.
To: gov_bean_ counter
I thought this was SOP for CIA regardless of status.No, most non-covert CIA employees wear "I work for the CIA" sweatshirts when traveling abroad.
That's so nobody tries to eff with them.
