Valerie Plame looks at a fragile, scary world
Albuquerque Journal ^ | 9/18/14 | Winthrop Quigley

Posted on 09/18/2014 1:17:19 PM PDT by woofie

I called former covert CIA operations officer Valerie Plame in Santa Fe last week to ask if I had reason to be anxious about the way something that in the context of history is so minor – an assassination in Serbia, a small civil war in Ukraine – can spin so out of control.

“Other than the annihilation of the human race through miscalculation or mistake?” she replied. “Yes, the summer has been full of terrible news. This is an issue that because it is so big and truly existential in nature, we tend not to be able to absorb it or do anything about it as an individual.”

Valerie Plume is a former spy who now works for nuclear disarmament. Valerie Plame is a former spy who now works for nuclear disarmament. Plame’s CIA career focused on preventing proliferation of nuclear weapons until a State Department official disclosed to the media that she was a spy. She and her husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson, settled in Santa Fe. She consults with the Santa Fe Institute, is a leader of the Global Zero nuclear disarmament movement and has just published her second spy novel, “Burned.”

I called former covert CIA operations officer Valerie Plame...

I thought she wasn't, and never was, a covert operative?

15 seconds. This world is scary because of her and her whacked lib hubbie, lying through his teeth and disinforming.
A tiresome duo. Sometime had read about them from the Toensings (the fed prosecutors I think they are, the husband/wife opposites of the Plamewilsons).

She was never in deep cover. Long time since the OSS days, Casey and people who were true warriors.

Now we have an idiot like State Dept. spokeswhatever Harf— who used to work.... as an analyst at cia. What a moron— hard to believe, but she has a political patronage job from her mummy and daddy (big libs).

Assassination in Serbia?

The last famous assassination in Serbia was in 1903 when the king was killed. The assassination of King Alexander of Yugoslavia in 1934 took place in France.

The archduke was assassinated in Bosnia by Bosnians (mostly Bosnian Serbs including the one who fired the actual shots).

As most of us had long suspected, the man who told Novak about Valerie Plame was Richard Armitage, Colin Powell's deputy at the State Department.

She was a nothingburger then; she's a nothingburger now.
