One of the stupidest talking points I've seen so far in the Rove/Plame matter is the attempt to conflate the exposure of Valerie Plame's status as a CIA operative with any pre-Novak acknowledgment of her existence. John Gibson tried this one out on Bob Beckel a couple of nights ago (my transcript, so no link):

Were you ever in any of those receiving lines where Joe Wilson brought his CIA operative wife out into public view in front of cameras to meet the president and such? If he brings her out in public to be photographed by tv, hasn't he outed her?
Well, no, John, he hasn't, not unless he also hung a big "CIA AGENT" sign around her neck. As my friend Billmon notes:


read the whole article, it's fun!

1. That's has to be one of the stupidest comments I have ever heard

So a CIA Operative can't go out in public? Tough to do your job if you are locked in an office your whole life. The moron doesn't understand that it's not the person that is secret, it's their job that is.

2. NOC

Non- Official Cover...she was working for a CIA funded front organization ....few (if any) knew she was actually CIA so while she was out in public she appeared no different than you or me... (unless you're CIA too!!! :scared: )

3. I didn't even have to see Wilson's online bio to know this was BS

Now that I have seen it it makes that talking point all the more ridiculous. I could tell by the way it was said by everyone (verbatim) that it has crafted, crafted to imply that he had outed her but there is no evidence that HE knew exactly what her role at the CIA was.
