"She was covert"


And .. your evidence for that is .......??? And "analyst" is not "covert".

I didn't say definitively that she was covert at the time of the article. My point is more that just because she doesn't meet the narrow scope of the criteria laid out in the act, doesn't mean she's not covert. That criteria was intended to cover only a specific portion of covert employees.

I believe she was covert for several reasons, including the fact that at the time friends and neighbors expressed surprise that she worked at the CIA and were under the impression she was a contractor for another government agency, and the fact that she was apparently a Career Trainee, who are all covert, and the fact that this proceeded at all. I don't know how it could have proceeded if she wasn't a covert employee. The point of proceeding would be to determine if the situation met the criteria of the act.

If she was an analyst at any time during her career, she still would have been covert if she was a Career Trainee. She wouldn't go in and out of undercover status. There are analysts who are covert.

She's not protected under 421 because she's not the covert covert (the normally accepted form of "covert", as in "secret agent") because she was brought home in 1987, six years before the pseudo-outting and never again worked in the field in any capacity. She's a glorified paper pusher, put on a paper propaganda pedestal by the power hungry Democrats via her attention-starved husband.

During Wilson's interviews today, he forcibly reminded me of Scott Ritter after Ritter overplayed his 15 minutes of fame as an agent of Saddam. Remember how he contradicted himself every few minutes? Then his disgusting perversions were revealed. I distinctly remember that the Democrats accused Rove of ultimately being behind the revelation of his arrest for soliciting minors over the Internet and demanded Republican heads on platters.

Funny how Ritter disappeared out of the limelight. Guess he shuffled off into the Ritterbox of history.

This whole dog and pony show is putting me in an evil mood.
