A mom, a volunteer and a top-notch CIA spy
Here is a little more background info on Valerie Plame I though you all may be interested in.

snip----------

WASHINGTON -- One evening this summer, former diplomat Joseph Wilson sat amid the African-themed decor of his spacious Washington home, sipping a glass of beer and talking about a trip he took to Niger for the CIA. His wife, Valerie, was in the kitchen, preparing chicken for a cookout and arranging red, white and blue napkins.

Suddenly a giggling boy streaked nude into the living room and jumped into his father's lap. Bath time was nigh. Valerie Wilson rounded up the towheaded 3-year-old and his twin sister, efficiently taming the household whirlwind.

When Valerie Wilson--her maiden name is Plame--introduced herself to a reporter in her home on July 3, there was no hint she was anything other than a busy mother with an unflagging smile.

She talked a bit about the joys and challenges of twins, then faded into the background.

One might have thought her to be a financial manager, maybe a real estate agent, but never a spy. Few knew her secret: At 22, Plame joined the CIA and traveled the world on undercover missions.

She seems like a wonderful and very accomplished lady and her husband is obviously of high quality as well. THESE people are patriots who have served their/our country with honor and dignity and by what they are going through now, continue to do so.

2. She has taken more risks for her country
than the entire cabal combined. Bunch of greedy chickenhawks.
