Wasn't Valerie Plame brought in from her overseas covert NOC operations after Aldrich Ames sold out all our NOCs in the mid 90s?

I have heard about Aldrich Ames and a couple of other sources. One article I read said that the Russians had been alerted to her identity by an undercover Russian agent. (Probably a reference to Ames).

Another story said that her name had been in documents read by Cuban intelligence...this back in the 90s.

She obviously had been pulled back in to an administrative job for her own protection, and the protection of others of whom she had knowledge.
