I know Plame's not been covert for 9 or more years if she ever really was - thanks for posting your snippet of info. I was just mentioning that one reporter- Pincus- claimed to know and he said it was 1999. We already know he's full of manure.
If she wasn't a covert agent, then why was the White House initially outraged at the incident? Also, why has the investigation dragged on for TWO YEARS? You'd think that would be the first think the prosecuter checks out. If she wasn't a covert agent, the investigation would have ended quickly.
