I'd like to know what exactly Plame's position was at CIA: analyst, operative, case officer, what? Sounds like a lib paper pusher who got in during Clinton's post Cold War "lax" period?

This is a job for all Freepers to Dan Rather this story!

I don't see why this is even in dispute. Reporters are always going on and on about how the American public deserves to know all kinds of things--why can't they get a straight answer as to her status?

I know this much--her lying hubby told Wolf Blitzer she was not "clandestine" the other day, and then made a "correction" (and no reporter gave him the crap they have been giving McClellan).

Consider me skeptical that her husband is unsure of her status. Plame could clear this up with a one-sentence comment. Seems to me if she said she wasn't covert, the story and her fame would collapse; if she said she was covert, she's setting herself up for serious repurcussions for lying. Either way, it benefits her to shut up unless she was covert--then, by telling the truth, she gains everything.

So it seems that her not coming clean proves she and her husband are lying.
