Why is it so hard for people to understand that Plame's identity was not a secret? Many, many people knew her. Many people who knew her also knew she was married. Many people who know Joe Wilson know he is married and who his wife is. I don't get these protestations about her being named on his bio. The fact that she existed wasn't a secret. It was the fact that she was working undercover that was a secret. The whole point is to appear to lead a normal life.

You don't understand what undercover work is. You assume a new identity.
Read Baer's book about the CIA that came out last year. First thing they did was take everything away from him that bore his old name. They gave him a new job, new name, new everything. He was not allowed contact with his family.
Plame can't be Plame and work undercover for the CIA at the same time.
