We had 4 or 5 CIA agents busted during a industrial espionage “operation” in France when one of the female CIa agents fell in love with her “target” and started sleeping with him and confessed to the whole thing.>>>>>>>>>>>>

Wasn't that Valerie Plame?

“was that valerie plame...”

LOL, “no” the woman was very very junior, as I recall fresh out of training junior and it was in the mid 90’s, Plames career started earlier.

from 1996:

Weiner, Tim. “C.I.A. Confirms Blunders During Economic Spying on France.” New York Times, 13 Mar. 1996, A8 (N).

A classified report by the CIA’s Inspector General has concluded that Paris Station blundered in its espionage effort directed against French trade negotiations and economic targets. The IG report faults Paris Station Chief Dick Holm for not keeping the Ambassador fully informed and for allowing an affair between a Nonofficial Cover officer and her French lover to continue. Europe Division Chief Joe DeTrani “has been placed in administrative limbo.”

“France has accused five Americans, including the former C.I.A. station chief [in Paris] and his deputy, of political and economic espionage and asked them to leave.... The other Americans ... asked to leave were two other C.I.A. agents who are listed in diplomatic jobs on the roster of the United States Embassy, and a woman working as an undercover C.I.A. agent who lacks diplomatic status.””

Interesting to note that the same regions are named Africa especially, as Wilson supposedly had great contacts there..
