A). I don't believe he "outed" her.
B). She wasn't an operative.
C). Novaks article was true. Why wouldn't you believe him now?
Her employment at the CIA as a WMD expert was well known and it seems kind of silly to believe that an "operatives" cover was as the spouse of someone in the employ of the US government in the area of WMD. She was an analyst.
Exactly.
The point was not to laud her, or those of utterly poor judgement
who hired such a purported "asset" or "agent" who had such limited judgement as to
flash herself in a national magazine to hurt her oiwn country.
Mr.Novak outed her by name, obviously erroneously thinking that his own treason would reflect on President Bush.
It did as much as Benedict Arnold's treason wrought stain on George Washington. Not at all.
Joe Wilson "outed" his wife for political and monetary gain. She had already been exposed from things I have read before the article.
