Plame was not a covert or field agent. She was a desk jockey. No comparison whatsoever, which is why she immediately sought the spotlight and cameras and ropelines. The Afghanistan CIA station chief is currently in hiding and terrified, as he has any number of people who want him killed.

RE: Plame was not a covert or field agent. She was a desk jockey.

Technically, she was “covert”.

Plame was undercover when she was outed. The fact that she had moved back to CIA headquarters did not merit her identification, in part because she occasionally left Langley, Va., to conduct covert operations overseas.

The injustice really is the indictment of Scooter Libby.

The fact that former deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage was Robert Novak’s source for Plame’s identity — rather than Libby, former chief of staff to then–vice president Dick Cheney — and the Proescutor KNEW this already early on SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THE INVESTIGATION.

Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald already knew this and took Libby to trial anyway.

Armitage stayed mum as Libby was dragged through court. Secretary of State Colin Powell was equally quiet, though he seemingly was aware of this injustice.

The whole thing STUNK and still STINKS.
