[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Owl_Eagle's POINTS WELL WORTH CONSIDERING:
----------------------------------------------------
First, Valarie Plame isn't an undercover operative, she's an analyst and hasn't done undercover work for about eight years.

Second, Rove didn't give her name to Cooper.

Third, Cooper could have found her name the same way I did, on Joe Wilson's home page which was still up the day after the Novak column appeared.

Fourth, it was Wilson, not Bush, that was proven wrong about Hussein's attempts to buy yellowcake.

[TheOtherOne]

1. Her name being known is not the issue. The issue is whether someone revealed that she was, in fact, an undercover operative for the CIA.

2. The fact that she worked at the CIA was known, as was her name. Again the issue is did someone reveal her position as an undercover operative for the CIA

We are investigating to see who revealed her undercover status. Frankly, I don't care who is was, they should be punished.
