Some "folks" are also overlooking the fact that for the original story that started all this, Bob Novack said he called the CIA and they (someone there...attention libs-call for their names from grand jury investigation please!) confirmed that Plame was an employee.
He did say the CIA employment verifier asked him not to use her name.....which he did anyway because, as he said, they didn't make it sound like it was any big deal. Also, Novack is the one who bestowed the ominously grandiose title of "operative" on Valerie Plame, which has duly impressed the libs.
Hey folks, Valerie and Joe are not and never were "Boris" and "Doris"....
LMAO at how seriously the libs seem to be taking "national security"...even rogue CIA agent and complicit murderer of CIA station chief in Athens, PHILIP AGEE, has weighed in against Karl Rove. YGBSM.

again, the hypocrisy and transparency of the Left would be funny if it weren't so outrageous!
