Just to keep facts straight.

see post above yours

she had been working a desk at the CIA HQ for 6 years after she left Africa, the time limit for disclosure of a agents name is 5 years.

her cover was not blown , there was no cover to blow, what was "leaked" was that wilsons wife worked at the CIA.

She wasn't a NOC when her name was leaked, but she was still a covert employee.

No it isn't.  Here, I did the research for you.  You're welcome.

He wasn't convicted for outing a CIA agent. He was convicted for lying to the FBI.


What Plume is/was at the time means nothing.

It sounds like he could have come out and been honest in the beginning and very possibly gotten off since he wasn’t charged for outing her.

He was not indicted for outing plame

They did not try to prosecute him for outing plame

He was not convicted for outing plame

He was not found guilty of outing plam


Those are undeniable facts about this case.


lets not confuse this with some big conspiracy by the Bush administration.


This does sound oh so familar, once again the federal govt spent millions of tax dollars, years, and man hours to convict somone of not telling the truth.

Reactions.  All short.  And a prelude of what will come.

Enough in there to satisfy the political spectrum.

Looks like Real Clear took a cross section.

Telling the truth in government is extremely important as it removes any sort of check on the system.  This is why Clinton should have been thrown out.  This is why GWB should be thrown out (for lying about Iraq among many things).
