[Remole]

Someone on the NRO "Corner" recently asked the very sensible question re: Wilson's wife: Even if she were a CIA operative, she still had a "Cover." THAT'S WHY ALL SUCH AGENTS UNDER COVER--so that, if an accusation is leveled that the person is a CIA agent, the person can point to a legitimate employer etc. So the question is: why didn't the CIA use the Cover???

According to the media (and I have not seen or don't recall the original source), Plame is what is officially known as *noc*: no official cover.
