Just a simple fact about the stupidity of the left attacking Rove over Plame....Rove probably didn't even mention her name...but if she was such a secret undercover agent....explain this:
Explain to me how a "super secret CIA agent" agrees to pose for the cover of Vanity Fair magazine with her *husband, the infamous liar Joe Wilson - to promote his book? Only in Washington, D.C. would this pass for a "scandal". Everybody knew Plame was stand down CIA. Certainly not worse than Sandy Burglar stuffing handfuls of secret documents down his Jockeys.
No matter what happens, this is much ado about nothing. So don't waste my time with this, libbies. It's just more evidence of the left playing "gotcha" to avoid actually doing anything productive for this country.
Actual copy from Vanity Fair, January 2004. "The photograph, by Jonas Karlsson, was taken Nov. 8 and "styled by" Ann Caruso. Hair, makeup, and grooming by Terri Grauel for T.H.E. Artist Agency." Unlike my critics, I use real sources, not partisan hack sites.
*"For starters, he has insisted that his wife, CIA employee Valerie Plame, was not the one who came up with the brilliant idea that the agency send him to Niger to investigate whether Saddam Hussein had been attempting to acquire uranium. "Valerie had nothing to do with the matter," Wilson says in his book. "She definitely had not proposed that I make the trip." In fact, the Senate panel found, she was the one who got him that assignment. The panel even found a memo by her. (She should have thought to use disappearing ink.)" - Nation Review
Joe Wilson is slime....his wife is slime...yet they get treated like royalty. He filed a false report...FACT...Meanwhile....the media makes Rove out to be the devil over....what was it again? Saying that Joe Wilsons wife got him the job??? Think Vanity Fair covered that one.
Just incase any libs want to say Wilson and Plame did nothing wrong...here is some information from the liberal Washington Post
Former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, dispatched by the CIA in February 2002 to investigate reports that Iraq sought to reconstitute its nuclear weapons program with uranium from Africa, was specifically recommended for the mission by his wife, a CIA employee, contrary to what he has said publicly.The panel found that Wilson's report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts. And contrary to Wilson's assertions and even the government's previous statements, the CIA did not tell the White House it had qualms about the reliability of the Africa intelligence that made its way into 16 fateful words in President Bush's January 2003 State of the Union address.

I am extremely flattered Game. Thanks for the space on your wonderful blog! We'll watch each other's back.
Thanks for the kind words...great start to the morning.
Game,
You are missing some very important facts that destroys your entire Vanity Fair rant.
Novak outed Plame on June 13, 2003. Your Vanity Fair article is from the January 2004 issue and you note the photo was taken November 8, 2003. So I would say it stands to reason her identity and previous undercover status was pretty much blasted over the entire universe by then.
Also this from the Senate Intelligence report:
According to p. 54 of the Senate report, the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency told Senator Kyl that the CIA did not agree with the British view that Iraq was trying to acquire uranium. On October 6, 2002 CIA Director Tenet called Deputy National Security Advisor Hadley and warned him not to use the information in a Presidential speech alleging that Iraq was trying to acquire uranium. Hadley had the passage removed from the speech (p. 56).
Noble effort...here is some more for you to ponder on the whole issue:
"Wolf Blitzer: But the other argument that's been made against you is that you've sought to capitalize on this extravaganza, having that photo shoot with your wife, who was a clandestine officer of the CIA, and that you've tried to enrich yourself writing this book and all of that.
What do you make of those accusations, which are serious accusations, as you know, that have been leveled against you.
Joe Wilson: My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity."
"The federal code says the agent must have operated outside the United States within the previous five years. But Plame gave up her role as a covert agent nine years before the Rove interview, according to New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof.
Kristof said the CIA brought Plame back to Washington in 1994 because the agency suspected her undercover security had been compromised by turncoat spy Aldrich Ames."
from the Washington Times:
"A former CIA covert agent who supervised Mrs. Plame early in her career yesterday took issue with her identification as an "undercover agent," saying that she worked for more than five years at the agency's headquarters in Langley and that most of her neighbors and friends knew that she was a CIA employee.
"She made no bones about the fact that she was an agency employee and her husband was a diplomat," Fred Rustmann, a covert agent from 1966 to 1990, told The Washington Times.
"Her neighbors knew this, her friends knew this, his friends knew this.”
EVERYONE knew she was an "Undercover" agent
Well, we're both starting to do some double-posting here, but here goes from my post at Real America:
Game: Joe Wilson: My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity.
In other words, Plame was no longer under cover once Novak blew her cover.
Game: The federal code says the agent.... You are citing the 1982 code about divulging the name of a covert agent. It has become pretty clear that this charge won't be made because of the narrow definitions in the law. Nobody will be charged under this law.
But the Republic talking points keep referring to this law in order to frame the "charge" as bogus. However, the actual charges most likely will be related to divulging information from a top secret State Department memo which identified Plame by her maiden name.
