"Except for one thing - Plame was not undercover."
From Mr. Gertz in today's Wash Times:
"Mrs. Plame was a "nonofficial covert" CIA officer, although U.S. intelligence officials say her identity was compromised twice before columnist Robert Novak identified her in a piece about Mr. Wilson."
Again - if her identity was no long secret, why was she still considered a NOC? Burning her cover was WRONG.
Traitors.
You can't burn ashes. Her cover was long gone. If she was a NOC then she was a NOC in name only. Her association with the CIA was known to Castro, the Russians and, apparently half of Washington DC.
