Valerie Plame, the former CIA officer who was infamously outed during the Bush administration, was on CNN yesterday to react to the accidental outing of another CIA official this week. Plame called it “colossally stupid,” but made it clear this is in no way equivalent to what happened to her. Plame’s outing over ten years ago turned into a full-fledged scandal that implicated a number of Bush administration officials, which she doesn’t believe is in par with one person’s “colossally stupid” accident.
Plame told Wolf Blitzer this week’s embarrassment was “an error of huge proportions with tremendous consequences,” but the difference here is, she said, “my name was intended to be leaked in retaliation against my husband, who was a fierce critic of the Bush administration and the Iraq War.”
On this particular case, Plame did say it raises a serious issue of security clearances and how many people should get them. And furthermore, there are plenty of disastrous implications of a CIA station chief’s name being out there when that information may end up in the hands of people who might want to inflict serious harm upon them.

Requested information from who, and what reporters?
She gave a $1,000 political donation to Al Gore, giving the so-called CIA undercover company Jennings-Brewster as her then employer. How legal is that?
Armitrage didn't know Plame was a covert CIA agent. He thought she just worked for the CIA, and that's what he told Novak.
Armitrage apparently learned about Plame from a State Department memo, which made no mention of her covert status. Technically, the author of that memo is the one that made the unauthorized disclosure, but he/she has never been identified.
But, this event happening during a Democrat administration is simply a mistake, which has no major consequences, and which will not be a treasonous scandal.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
He either shopped it or hinted at confirmation to Tim Russert, Matt Cooper, and Judy Miller.
Whether he "shopped" it or not has no affect on his conviction. The misleading part of his cooperation with the investigation was his claim that he didn't know, except from reporters, that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA.
She and Joe Wilson were lovin' it. Here's their double-page spread in Vanity Fair magazine:
There are many, many people in WDC who should be in prison or exiled. Unfortunately...
Yeah...Much, much more danger working at a desk pushing papers at Langley than being the Head of Section in Afghanistan....Just don’t see how she stayed safe after that...
section=station.....
Check out the photo is she try be 1950 film star here HELLO
The Democrats and scandal remind me of a Mel Brooks quote:
“Comedy is when you fall through a manhole. Tragedy is when I stub my toe.”
Of course Brooks was genuinely funny while the Democrats are mawkishly comical:
“If you do it, someone’s going to prison; if we do it, a desk jockey a week a way from retirement retires a week early (with full pension).”
Russert told an FBI agent that they didn't discuss Plame at all. The agent testified to this effect during the trial, as Russert had passed away.
Judy Miller testified that her notes from an intervew with Libby simply said that "Wilson's wife may have worked on unconventional weapons at the CIA". He didn't identify her by name, and didn't say anything about her covert status.
Matthew Cooper actually asked Libby "If he had heard anything about Wilson's wife sending her husband to Niger", and Libby reportedly responded to the effect of: "Yeah, I've heard that too". He said nothing about her covert status or even working for the CIA.
The misleading part of his cooperation with the investigation was his claim that he didn't know, except from reporters, that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA.
Libby doesn't dispute that that he first learned about it from Cheney -- he testified that he realized it later. The question is whether he intentionally concealed it at the time of the investigation and grand jury testimony.
My problem with all of this is that Libby apparently didn't even know Plame was a covert agent. So, like Armitrage, there was no crime committed other than his recollection about the order in which things occurred.
Fitzgerald knew the source of the leak right away. So, why was he so intent on getting some conviction?
Right. That was the essential premise for the criminal charge. I think the jury got it right. There was too much evidence, outside of his remarks/conversations with reporters, that Libby was interested in "Wilson's wife works at the CIA." My memory might be faulty, but I believe there was evidence beyond just hearing it from Cheney. Libby affirmatively made inquiries through official channels.
-- So, like Armitrage, there was no crime committed other than his recollection about the order in which things occurred. --
There is no crime in innocent error in recollection. The charge was that he deliberately mislead the investigators and grand jury.
-- Fitzgerald knew the source of the leak right away. So, why was he so intent on getting some conviction? --
He's a self-promoter, just like everybody else in the government.
“It’s okay when we do it”
Did plame mention yet that it was Armitage who leaked her name and not rove or Libby or Cheney which she asserted for years?
She’s a witch.
Also, the station chief didn't use his position to try to politically attack the administration, or to pull strings to get jobs for his wife like she did for her husband.
Nor did he inject himself into an on-going story in a way that would allow a reporter to figure out what he did, like Plame did.
She was so covert, her code name was Valerie Plame.
Looks more like a female Democrat visiting a mosque to me.
Lady speaks with forked tongue.
