I thought that at the time, Plame's status was not classified. In fact, it was on her kids' contact info at school? Why can't the MSM get that straight.
"Why can't the MSM get that straight".
And why can't dean and the rest of the liberals check their stories(i.e. facts), before running off without a clue?
Nope, Plame was in fact working covertly. The contact information was to a fictitious corporation made up so that she (and by extension her husband who was investigating the claims) had a reason to be in Niger.
I really can't quite see what the backlash here is for, "If Cheney ordered the disclosure of Plame's identity he should resign"
Yes, I'd say that someone working with the CIA being outed is reason to resign.
