Latest disinfo on Plame: She was a 10 yr old undercover agent:

[SilasSoule]

From our good friends at NewsMax nonethe less:

They are still running with this crap using Larry Johnson's Statement:

Bang! Thats the sound of another hole being knocked into the White House leak (smear campaign).

Valerie Plame Undercover Since She was 10-years-old?

Former CIA agent Larry Johnson told PBS's "The News Hour" last night that Joseph Wilson's wife Valerie Plame had been operating undercover for "three decades."

The Washington Post, however, says that Ms. Plame is an attractive, slim, blonde with film star looks who happens to be just 40-years-old.

If both accounts are true, that means Plame was placed undercover by the CIA when she was just ten-years-old.
Either Mr. Wilson has been caught fibbing again, this time about his wife's age. Or Mr. Johnson has needs to update his chronology.

1. Sigh

It means was undercover in the 80s, the 90s, and this decade. That's three decades.

Newsmax shows once again that they cannot possibly have a single shred of journalistic integrity within their pages.

I'm new to Du and I am AMAZED at how quickly you guys are able to find and shoot down the spin from the NeoCons. Amazing. Simply amazing.
Great work!

7. Welcome!

That's one of the great things here - the ability to research things quickly and thoroughly, and get the info needed to fight the lies.

I will caution you though - since you're new here, and since this is primary season, avoid the threads having to do with candidates. Unfortunately people here (like everywhere) allow their passions to sometimes get in the way of their judgement, and well...

9. "Either Mr. Wilson has been caught fibbing again,"

Okay so what was his first lie? Smear Smear Smear Smear. Wilson never lied. Newsmax is lying through their teeth to smear a good man.

11. They would no doubt claim he tried to fib when

he so definitely named Rove in his earlier discussions of the incident.

In fact, he did back off for a bit there before presenting his reasons for naming Rove (he had gotten Rove's name off the record from one of the other reporters who had been shopped for the story {probably Andrea Mitchell})

12. Not necessarily just her, either.

I don't have Wilson's exact quote (and I don't trust NewsMax's): did he say his wife had been undercover for three decades, or that three decades' work was ruined.

From what I understand Plame's cover was as some sort of consultant. Obviously now whatever consulting firm/company/organization/network she was a part of is now exposed as a CIA front (or at least cooperating with the CIA, making all connected to it suspect).

THAT entity may have been in operation for three decades, and his wife was someone who joined it and moved up its ladders. Ruining her ruined all the work done before her too.

Does anyone have Wilson's exact quote?
