Yeah, right.  Perhaps, you can name other cases where an agent was outed followed by a prosecution of the outer.

My goodness, hansen ! This changes everything. I guess this means that our gal Val is in reality April Dancer, The mysterious girl from U.N.C.L.E. Hot diggity micro dot.

According to Fred Rustmann, a former CIA official in an article published in Time magazine on 031019:

." . . . . Rustmann describes Plame as an "exceptional officer" but says her ability to remain under cover was jeopardized by her marriage in 1998 to the higher-profile American diplomat."

Golly, married to Joe 'stand back, I'm a diplomat' Wilson April, 98. Novack breaks story July, 03 no more life threatening undercover polishing assignments in the espionage hot spots of the US embassy's of Brussels or Athens for five years. Active covert operative, my ass. I hear that when they catch a NOC in Belgium they withhold your waffles till they fly you home, couch no less! If there was even the slightest evidence that Plame was a covert operative you can rest assured charges would have been brought. They weren't. Case closed. You don't really do any better at making this case than your mentor, Wayne did. Imagine my surprise.

  Your attention is invited to the attached PDF file titled "Correcting the Record on Valerie Plame" authored by Larry C. Johnson.

  This document was downloaded from the House of Representative website at:

   

  http://www.oversight.house.gov/Documents/20050722113326-59442.pdf

   

  Quoted below is a paragraph from the first page of this document.

   

  "Although Val started off with official cover, she later joined a select

  group of intelligence officers a few years later when she became a

  NOC, i.e. a Non-Official Cover officer. That meant she agreed to

  operate overseas without the protection of a diplomatic passport. She

  was using cover, which we now know because of the leak to Robert

  Novak, of the consulting firm Brewster-Jennings."

   

  Nope.  Certainly doesn't sound like janitorial work to me.

  Well Wayne, this is becoming embarrassing. Perhaps you should hang it up, take a little nap and try again another day.

   

  For starters why would I consider any thing from wikipedia to be the final word on anything? A site where the content can be altered by pretty much anyone with an opinion, a point of view, and some time on their hands (someone much like yourself) would hardly be the most definitive source for anyone's "reality" check.

   

  Also considering that you, yourself, choose this particular article, I think that it's extremely telling that nowhere in the conclusions of the afore mentioned piece did the eight democrats and seven republicans (Hagel & Snowe hardly count as republicans) find any indication of wrong doing by the current administration. It should go without saying that there is no mention of the actual topic we had been discussing, Valerie Plame.

   

  Now that we are actually back to the original topic at hand, allow me to reiterate. A janitor at the CIA is not a covert operative. A security guard at the CIA is not a covert operative. An analyst at the CIA is not a covert operative. After hearing Ms. Plame testify to congress, seeing the piece in Vanity Fair, watching her on CNN's Larry King, and listening to her idiot husband blowviate at length in various forums, it seems likely to me that what Ms. Plame really did at the agency was polish. Apples, brass, knobs, and her own reputation and sense of self-worth, and only one of those things did she do covertly.
