Valerie Plame looks at a fragile, scary world
Albuquerque Journal ^ | 9/18/14 | Winthrop Quigley

Posted on 09/18/2014 1:17:19 PM PDT by woofie

I called former covert CIA operations officer Valerie Plame in Santa Fe last week to ask if I had reason to be anxious about the way something that in the context of history is so minor – an assassination in Serbia, a small civil war in Ukraine – can spin so out of control.

“Other than the annihilation of the human race through miscalculation or mistake?” she replied. “Yes, the summer has been full of terrible news. This is an issue that because it is so big and truly existential in nature, we tend not to be able to absorb it or do anything about it as an individual.”

Valerie Plume is a former spy who now works for nuclear disarmament. Valerie Plame is a former spy who now works for nuclear disarmament. Plame’s CIA career focused on preventing proliferation of nuclear weapons until a State Department official disclosed to the media that she was a spy. She and her husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson, settled in Santa Fe. She consults with the Santa Fe Institute, is a leader of the Global Zero nuclear disarmament movement and has just published her second spy novel, “Burned.”

Oh puleeeeze, that liberal bimbo couldn’t analyze a first order differential equation.

She did nothing in the past.

She will do nothing in the future.

She is a younger, but just as corrupt, Hillary.

I would say she is hysterical. And I don’t mean funny.

What total bunkum.
She was a clerk. Not a spy.

I suspect the rest of her miserable life was also fiction.

We’re only human,” she said. “Mistakes are made. Miscalculations are made.

This did not apply to the Bush administration where it was necessary to persecute anyone who was in it

Winthrop Quigley [srsly?!] calls former 'covert'* CIA operations officer Valerie Plame in Santa Fe last week, to ask her if he had reason to be anxious?!

Winthrop, and dear Valerie, doth protest too much, methinks. They, and their socialist friends, are the reason the entire world should be anxious.

* The definition of 'covert' includes wearing a scarf while appearing on the cover of VanityFair

She was looking in the mirror again. Everyone warned her not to do that.

She was not a spy, which is why the guy who leaked her identity was never prosecuted.

If she has any remorse about what she set off putting an innocent man in jail, however, the article doesn't mention it.

Valerie Plame...has just published her second spy novel, “Burned.”

Which is what I did with the first one and shall do with the second, if I happen to see it in the .25 bargain bin, where I found the first one.

Her writing talents are just like her spy talents...non-existent.

They recognize the situation, but just can’t quite pull the trigger when it comes to placing the blame right where it belongs.

This is obviously puff piece but it would be nice if reasonable questions could be asked of former players like Colin Powell (who supported Pres. 0)

Honestly, I don’t know if I could trust anything he says anymore. Well, I should say I know I couldn’t.

There was plenty on Obama in 2008. Colin Powell ignored all of it to back this guy.

I knew right there I had been terribly wrong about him over the years.

Why would he be honest now. And even if he was, I’ll bet you dollars to donuts he’s squeeze in some Leftist enablement in the process.

A world where her naked photos could be hijacked from the Apple cloud.
