Allow me to be the first.

This Clintonian article did everything except ask what the meaning of "is" is. It doesn't matter what you think of Wilson, going after his wife was an incredibly bone-headed thing to do. Worse than that, it was just plain wrong.

Regardless of wht his wife's title is, it is becomin apparent that she was more than just some "nobody" clerk. Even if she isn't the cloak and dagger, super-dooper, undercover spy that the Dems want her to be, exposing her served absolutely no useful purpose in terms of our national security and may very well have caused some damage. The mere notion that WH officials now feel as if they have the right to out CIA employees is damage enough.

Arguing over the strict legality of the move is beside the point. This is about "doing the right thing." Someone should be, at the very least, fired and publicly castigated for this and if DOJ sees criminal conduct they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Bush, for his part, needs to prove that he doesn't have any Clinton in him and force the perp to face the music. He should not tolerate this sort of stupidity from his people which is exactly the sort of scheitt that Clinton pulled all the time.

Me thinks you have been hoisted by your own petard. Who is "going after" Wilson's wife? If she were not some undercover operative but only an employee, how is the mention of that "going after" her? It had previously been reported, during the "sixteen words" flap, that it was his wife who suggested that Wilson be sent on this mission. The real bonehead, perhaps another Clinton appointed political operative in the CIA, was the one who actually took that advice.

If I mentioned to someone where you worked, would you consider that "going after" you? The information was already public knowledge anyway.

The Democrats throw charges at Bush at the drop of a hat, greatly exaggerating the slightest little things, knowing that if they trumpet it loud enough some idiots will believe it. Did they have you in mind?

Suppose someone in the DemocRAT Party who is still embedded in the wainscoting of the Bush Govt. did this?

Not to overly tinfoil, but I smell a very big rat here.

You are still assuming that someone in the White House blabbed.

I find that highly doubtful. Even Novak says that a CIA employee told him, as well as that he already knew. Wilson even published that his wife was a CIA employee.

To tie all of the above posts together, Valerie Plame put her husband on the CIA payroll when he was assigned to go drink his sweet mint tea.

"I spent the next eight days drinking sweet mint tea and meeting with dozens of people: current government officials, former government officials, people associated with the country's uranium business."

Although she was "outed" as the supposed female James Bond,so was he as an avid democrat ,and,[ incidentally, the thousand or so bucks to Kerry was probably part of of the princely 'special assignment ' bonus he received as part of the CIA $ package.]

Pelosi is aghast in the photo above.

It is because she just learned that Ariana "outed" herself as the consumate Democrat under cover in the California recall in which she had posed as an Independent choice for governor...

[Her debate with Arnold ,et al, was hilarious..]

We're all missing a larger point.

Just about everybody in D.C. knew about her working for the CIA. It was widely known, so I doubt if she did much more than a desk job.

Her job was certainly no secret. They are having to go to extreme lengths to make something out of this.
