Speaking of Valerie Plame...how well hidden is the parking lot for CIA employees at Langley? Could someone use trainspotting/planespotting techniques to track CIA agents? Follow a car leaving the parking lot till it arrives at the agent's house?

Curt Weldon in the event from last Wednesday (rebroadcast on C-SPAN or C-SPAN2 this afternoon) complained about American Prospect disclosing the name of a source in Paris, which sounded much more serious than outing "Plume" (as he called her).

American Prospect is one of the more vitriolic anti-Republican, anti-Bush publications. When I googled Curt Weldon's name, one of the hits was to a hit piece in their online version attacking him.

Speaking of Valerie Plame...how well hidden is the parking lot for CIA employees at Langley? It raises an interesting question. The CIA's parking lots are access controlled. I have to assume that they use a decal and maybe an electronic device to permit access. I can't imagine that each and every car has to stop and be individually checked in when they arrive in the morning or other shift changes. Did Plame's car have a CIA decal before she was "outed" by Novak? Even if it didn't say CIA anyone who knew someone at the CIA and had seen their CIA decal would recognize the decal on someone else's car. If they came out as a former CIA NOC to talk on TV, etc the people who knew them before would/could remember the decals on their car.
