Readers who write letters to the editor often pick up and repeat inaccuracies that they get originally from the media, as though they were fact. Take the case of Valerie Plame, the "CIA operative" who was allegedly outed by a Bush administration official.
For the record, Plame is an office-bound intelligence analyst in Washington. She doesn't carry a gun, have a license to kill, or get parachuted into enemy territory at night. She is not in any danger of any kind from anyone as a result of being identified. The media, knowing better, continue to shorthand her as an "operative."
James Bond is an operative. Plame is a bureaucratic functionary with a political agenda.
In fact, it has already been revealed that Plame's function does not fall under the "secret" classification invented and endlessly repeated by the media. The case wouldn't last 30 seconds in a courtroom, which is why it will never reach trial.
How about peddling a new lie for a change? This one is getting old and boring.

Figures he's from heavily Repuke Bay Village. HATE that city. Hilarious he pretty much contradicted himself in one sentence. No Tom, your worthless parroting of Faux/Gibson lies to slobberingly defend your Fuhrer and Herr Karl Rove Goebbels without a HINT of research is what's getting old. Dumb sot.
