WASHINGTON — Outed CIA spy Valerie Plame last fall gave a campaign contribution to go toward an anti-Bush fund-raising concert starring Bruce Springsteen, it was revealed Tuesday night. It's the first revelation that Plame participated in anti-Bush political activity while working for the CIA. The $372 donation to the anti-Bush group America Coming Together (search), first reported by Time magazine's Web site, was made in Plame's married name of Valerie E. Wilson and covered two tickets. The Federal Election Commission (search) record lists her occupation as "retired" even though she's still a CIA staffer. Under employer it says: "N.A." A special prosecutor is probing whether Plame's CIA identity was leaked to retaliate against her husband, Joseph Wilson (search), for attacking President Bush's Iraq policy after he went on an Iraq-linked CIA mission arranged by his wife. Wilson — who played an active role in Democrat John Kerry's (search) losing 2004 presidential campaign — said the anti-Bush concert was "great" and told Time that his wife "doesn't recall listing herself as retired." CIA rules allow campaign contributions, but the fact that Plame gave money to the anti-Bush effort is likely to raise eyebrows. Federal rules require a political-action committee to ask all donors to list their employers. "You don't have to provide it, but if you do, you shouldn't provide false information on those forms — like saying you're retired if you're not," said Larry Noble of the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics (search). America Coming Together is one of the anti-Bush activist groups bankrolled by Bush-opposing billionaire George Soros (search). He gave the group around $10 million. Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's probe has raised questions about whether top Bush aides such as Karl Rove (search) played a role in outing Plame.p>

So... maybe the grand jury will pass down an indictment against Plame for false filing of political contributions?
If all our covert operatives were this good in the 60s, I'd be digging trenches on my collective farm right about now.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Her butt needed firing a long time ago.
LOL. She and her lying husband really are something...
How could she do this? I keep hearing that she was one of our countrys best kept secrets. Our own Jane Bond. The world will now collapse because of her "outing". Hundreds of her contacts are now in peril.
how can we even continue to HAVE a CIA without this valuable asset at our disposal?
And just think where she and her idiot hubby would be if Kerry HAD won? CIA Director and Ambassador to UN?
Lot's like Mrs. Wilson III has her anatomy in a wringer.
Listen for the squeal!
Wasn't this that goofy concert where the admission price counted as a political donation?
"CIA Operative Attended Bruce Springsteen Concert".
I don't think there's anything to see here.

I want to play the Plame blame game too.
George Soros, Valerie Plame, and Joe Wilson got together and decided to "leak" Valeries name to the MSM. Valerie agreed since she hadn't been a covert agent for like 6 years(if she had ever truly been one)and wouldn't be in any danger. Then Joe would start screaming to the MSM about how his wifes life was put in danger by the leaking of her name, and how the White House must have done it to retaliate for Joe's anti-war activities. That way they could get an impeachment against President Bush and Vice President Cheney, and get rid of that mean old Karl Rove also.
Question about covert agents: Are super duper secret agents allowed to get into bed with married men and reveal their covert status??
Lord, they think we are all retarded.
Only in Hollywood...and WIlson/Plame think they're already there.
Where I come from that's called "crapping in your mess kit". I don't think her or her dimwitt husband like Dubya.
I went to "No Nukes" back in '78, and I'm no steeekin' hippy.
I also went to a Paul Simon concert that was a Bill Bradley fundraiser back around '88, but I didn't give them any money. It's a long story, involving one of my friends pretending to be a retarded client of myself and a third guy. There was forged documents, loud unintelligble yelling, and intentional drooling involved...
She made a donation to Algore from her CIA front company. That is a violation of The Hatch Act. In fact any political activity by a CIA agent is prohibited. So she must not have been a CIA "agent" when she made the donation.
Anyone who would attend a Springsteen concert these days is an idiot. Guy totally sucks and just mumbles.
HELLO! My Name Is
Valerie Plame. And Valerie Wilson. But my friends just call me Operation ROVEbud. I don't know why. Really. I'm just a suburban housewife. Who bakes yellowcakes. That I was taught at the Culinary Institute of America. Just a retired short-spyuhfry-cook. Really.
