Just a reminder----Valerie Plame was a Covert Operative, GOP spin is wrong

[Zuni]

This, taken from Media Matters, is a quote from a CIA source on why her identity was confidential

Plame currently is an analyst at the CIA. But, intelligence officials said, she previously served overseas in a clandestine capacity, which means her name is kept classified to protect her previous contacts and operations, and her ability to work again undercover overseas.

1. I don't know why NPR and others don't know this

I had to listen to that harpy Victoria Toensing say over and over how she wasn't covert the other day. It is sickening no one calls them on this.

:(

2. Of course she was covert...

that's why there is still an investigation going on.
I assume she took the desk job when her children were born.

3. These people are implying ....

That the CIA doesn't know who is covert and who isn't covert

4. She was the NOC (non-official cover officer) watch the Recruiter with

Al Pacino and it'll give you a better idea on what her job entailed. Joe Wilson was living with the female 007.
