Was Plame Covert?
2007-06-06
A Robert Novak editorial from March 22, 2007, suggesting she was not. Link found adjacent to a Scotter Libby story at Yahoo News.

The other Republican present -- Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, a second-termer from metro Atlanta -- seemed awed by the beautiful woman facing him. "If I seem a little nervous," he began, "I've never questioned a spy before."

Waxman and Democratic colleagues did not ask these pertinent questions: Had not Plame been outed years ago by a Soviet agent? Was she not on an administrative, not operational, track at Langley? How could she be covert if, in public view, she drove to work each day at Langley? What about comments to me by then CIA spokesman Bill Harlow that Plame never would be given another foreign assignment? What about testimony to the FBI that her CIA employment was common knowledge in Washington?

Yeah? So? Does that help us get Karl Rove? Go away boy; ya bother me. [Foghorn Leghorn}

#7  "beautiful" prolly referred to Joe Wilson. He's one of the best-looking bitches I've seen in a while

#6  No, he's going to prison for lying to a cop. It was a stupid thing to do. That's why I'll never answer a question from a cop.

#5  This is the biggest bunch of trumped up nothing. It's not clear any law has been broken. Libby goes to prison about nothing.

#4  TW, mayhaps he's into horses. That would explain his attraction to horsey-faced Plume. Or, mayhaps he was drunk at the time.

#3  beautiful

Bleach-damaged hair, a touch of rosacea on the cheeks and chin, botox on her forehead and frown lines... Clearly the honourable Representative and I define that word differently.

#2  Another Bush failure. Pardon Libby, fire Plame, and do a full IRS assult on Joe Wilson. It would be easy to charge Plame and Wilson with an attempt to embarrass the president with public statements about a pre-planned CIA scam. I do believe it is against the law to run a CIA scam against a sitting president for the opposition political party usage.
Yes, folks, that is what was done in the Plame case.

#1  Didn't the CIA recently report to/thru Fitz that she WAS covert? That must mean that her 'cover' was as a CIA desk jockey. Not the best cover, but about all that was available once she was outed years ago. (It could even be true, but if so, all the CIA needed to do to preserve it would have been to say 'He just mis-spoke; she's an analyst; no big deal,' and move on.)
