As I posted on another Valerie Plame thread today, our super-duper CIA spy gal was apparently 'outed' in 1994, and probably was in no danger in her management job. I think this whole thing is about Joe Wilson's reeeally enjoying the limelight and milking the situation. Just my opinion; counts for nothing to anyone but me.

In October, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof reported: "The C.I.A. suspected that [master spy] Aldrich Ames had given Mrs. Wilson's name [along with those of other spies] to the Russians before his espionage arrest in 1994."
At the time, Kristof noted, Wilson's wife was brought home for safety reasons and "was already in transition away from undercover work to management."
Thanks for adding that info over here!
