Did the CIA “Out” Valerie Plame?
National Review Online ^ | 7-18-05 | Andrew McCarthy

Posted on 07/19/2005 12:18:07 PM PDT by outlaw1_2003

With each passing day, the manufactured "scandal" over the publication of Valerie Plame's relationship with the CIA establishes new depths of mainstream-media hypocrisy. A highly capable special prosecutor is probing the underlying facts, and it is appropriate to withhold legal judgments until he completes the investigation over which speculation runs so rampant. But it is not too early to assess the performance of the press. It's been appalling.

Very interesting piece. Wonder why the organization she worked for, would compromise her like that? This opens the door wider, now that she was first compromised in the 90's. I am sure that "W" wasn't the President and Rove didn't work for him in the White House unril 2000. Stick a fork in this story, I believe it's done!

Plame and Wilson outed themselves. There aren't ANY secrets inside the Beltway.

You have to expect the press to be upset over this one. Two of their guys ended up in jail, and now they want revenge. Pretty infantile, but, hey, look who we're talking about here.

Columnist Names CIA Iraq Operative

Timothy M. Phelps and Knut Royce
New York Newsday
July 21, 2003

Washington -- The identity of an undercover CIA officer whose husband started the Iraq uranium intelligence controversy has been publicly revealed by a conservative Washington columnist citing "two senior administration officials."

Intelligence officials confirmed to Newsday Monday that Valerie Plame, wife of retired Ambassador Joseph Wilson, works at the agency on weapons of mass destruction issues in an undercover capacity -- at least she was undercover until last week when she was named by columnist Robert Novak. ...

This CIA disclosure, moreover, is said to have been made not to Americans at large but to Fidel Castro's anti-American regime in Cuba

Theory: Think this was both a personal catfight(Miller vs Wilson) which turned into a media catfight that got out of hand and Wilson went to the party for help.

Mandy GRUNWALD and Hillary said thanks for the info....and created the plot to access the Whitehouse via Cooper. Kerry's Campaign was Wilson's reward. SOMEONE noticed...probably Miller.

Note: Henry Grunwald (Mandy's father) was the first to write in oped telling Nixon to resign. Henry died in Feb 2005.

By the way, the new "Female Prez" movie with Don Sutherland.....Seems Don was in a movie recently...by Peter Grunwald, Mandy's brother.

"This CIA disclosure, moreover, is said to have been made not to Americans at large but to Fidel Castro's anti-American regime in Cuba"

Another mystery. Might have something to do with alleged Cuban WMD?

http://washingtontimes.com/national/20040722-115439-4033r.htm

"...In a second compromise, officials said a more recent inadvertent disclosure resulted in references to Mrs. Plame in confidential documents sent by the CIA to the U.S. Interests Section of the Swiss Embassy in Havana.

The documents were supposed to be sealed from the Cuban government, but intelligence officials said the Cubans read the classified material and learned the secrets contained in them, the officials said. ..."

If Plame was ever utilized in a "covert" fashion then we really are in trouble

She was recalled from her covert assignment overseas a few years back, early in the Aldrich Ames affair, due to concerns that her covert status might have been compromised by Ames.

It says that Plame offered up Wilson's name for the trip to Niger because "there's this crazy report" of a purported deal for Niger to sell uranium to Iraq. Wilson and Plame sure seem nonpartisan, don't they. -sarcasm
