2. Done

Tucker, You are losing the Valerie Plame debate and sinking fast. Check the date on the Vanity Fair article (it's usually on the front cover) and you will discover this article came out 6 months AFTER Novak outed her.

Oh and that guy you had on last night who called her a file clerk? Glad to see he crawled back in his hole and wasn't on your show tonight.

3. Done. Here's my email:

Tucker:

Well, the easy answer is this:

She was tasked with WMD investigation and intelligence. Public and international knowledge of her identity would compromise her ability to adequately perform this duty, thus reducing US ability to gauge international threat. And yes, this implies she was a covert agent. The Vanity Fair article you referenced was put together long after she was outed, thus rendering her covert status moot. Doesn't matter by then, but as Rachel so eloquently put it to you, it did matter at the time of the Novak article. How can you not see the problem with an administration revealing CIA names, regardless of their covert status?

Which leads us to this more difficult answer:

If her outing was done in order to promote various falsehoods sold to the American public with respect to our intentions in Iraq, then I would say that over 1700 American soldiers have been a little less secure in the time since they were convinced of their reasons for going to war. And I would also say that outing the CIA status of the wife of an investigator who publicly suggested this falsehood is quite the motive.

You're a disgrace kid. And I'm younger than you.

4. My email to Bowtie: I bolded the third paragraph for him -

I can't seem to make it work on DU

Tucker - some reading for you:

http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/09/30/wilson.cia/ <snip>

Novak said a confidential source at the CIA told him Plame was "an analyst, not a spy, not a covert operative and not in charge of undercover operatives." (Full story)

Sources told CNN that Plame works in the CIA's Directorate of Operations -- the part of the agency in charge of spying -- and worked in the field for many years as an undercover officer.

"If she were only an analyst, not an operative, we would not have filed a crimes report" with the Justice Department, a senior intelligence official said.


Sorry, Tucker - that she was not covert is just their spin.

Was a law broken??
