I heard Rush say yesterday that Valerie Plame had not been an outside Agent in over nine years. Can anyone verify that? If so, why aren't we hearing more of that. If she was just a regular CIA employee, not a covert agent, what would be the crime?

The identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame was compromised twice before her name appeared in a news column that triggered a federal illegal-disclosure investigation, U.S. officials say.

Mrs. Plame's identity as an undercover CIA officer was first disclosed to Russia in the mid-1990s by a Moscow spy, said officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

In a second compromise, officials said a more recent inadvertent disclosure resulted in references to Mrs. Plame in confidential documents sent by the CIA to the U.S. Interests Section of the Swiss Embassy in Havana.

The terms "plame" "moscow" "ames" in a Google search turn up a number of similar articles.

The function of the media is not to illuminate the truth.

Thanks for the link. I still wonder where Rush got his info that she had not been a covert Agent in over nine years. I still would think that would be a factor.

The NEW YORK TIMES demanded Novak give up his sources.

Novak refused.

THE NEW YORK TIMES demands a special prosecutor.

Now, THE NEW YORK TIMES demands Ms.Miller refuse to give up her source.

WHY IS NOT THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA NOT ASKING MS.MILLER WHY,WHY,WHY SHE WILL NOT NAME HER SOURCE.

The question of who is interesting. The question of why is more interesting.
