Is Valerie Plame her real name or a made up name?
Made up. Her real name is Pussy Galore and her husband's real name is Bond, James Bond.
As you tried to say in your previous post, it is an irrelevant detail. Whether or not she was a covert agent is one of the important, relevant details. She wasn't. Another detail, whether or not Rove thought she was covert and next, where he got the info he passed on to the reporters. Did he get it from classified intel or was he passing along gossip? Seems he passed along credible gossip. Finally, what was his intent for passing along the info? Did he do it as a payback to a troublesome whistle-blower? Did he lie to try to discredit a legit whistle-blower? Based on Cooper's e-mail, looks like he was trying to reel in some of the lies that were flying around fast & furious about the situation.
