But special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald found that Plame had indeed done "covert work overseas" on counterproliferation matters in the past five years, and the CIA "was making specific efforts to conceal" her identity, according to newly released portions of a judge's opinion. She used to sneak out after Joey and the kids were in bed and jump an SR-71 over to the Middle East. She'd always make it back in time for breakfast sometimes stopping by the local Safeway to pick up bread, milk and eggs. ROTFLMAO!

Fitzgerald would have had a much shorter investigation determining who inside the beltway didn't know that Plame worked at a desk in Langley.

This sounds to me like a new and very convenient spin, formulated by the same rogue elements who sent Wilson on his bogus trip to Niger in the first place, and "leaked" to handy dupe Michael Isikoff for the purpose of muddying the waters.
Porter Goss and certain others have no doubt had everything they needed all along to prove that Plame was not "covert" during at least the five years prior to Wilson's op ed, and I only hope that a trap was set and somebody took the bait.
Pass the popcorn, please.

Sniff, sniff, smells like bull$hit to me. It's been well established that she had not been a cocktail party agent for years.
To: Tyche
How could this woman have been covert being married to an Ambassador? This is bunk. This woman was no female James Bond or anything else. Even her former boss said all she did was really corporate spying.
Bottom line is that she was not now or ever a deep cover covert agent.

What, I'm shocked. Are you saying the CIA is incompetent?The competence of the CIA is not the question.
The question is why elements within the CIA and the State Department have the power to decide the presidency?

You're probably right. It's too bad we can't see a speedy trial--before election day.

More popcorn please. This time, with butter. I will have the same. . .
Keeping Repubs on the 'burner' seems to be the 'order' of the day. . .

Yeah, real deep cover....

Newsweek is behind this story - well, that says it all for me!
To: Tyche; Cboldt; Howlin
Why is this even coming out if it has nothing with the Libby indictment?
To: Mo1
This whole article "stinks on ice"....and Isikoff was on Hairball regularly for months...just slobbering with Chrissy over the downfall of the Bush Administration....
This sounds like he is trying to salvage a story...

What do you think of this??
It seems like there is not so much about this "new evidence" to me.
