>> 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.
