Plame was covering WMD - so what is it the WH and cheney did
not want us to know? It is more than Wilson trip - They broke a whole network of intelligence when they outed her - that network knew and was close to things the WH admin did not want public and with this 'circus' about the outing rather than the facts AGAIN - like ABU Grab was about the pictures and not the torture -

This admin is about secrecy of things that are true

So what I REALLY want to know is what her networks were working on and knew -

1. Rumor Has It Her Task Force Was Preventing The Importation
of the notorious WMDs into Iraq for some great "discovery". I always wondered why they had such accurate numbers for the gasses and biologicals they were going to find...

2. I'm pretty sure
that before bush invaded Iraq her investigation had found out that they had no WMD. And she was pursuing the fact that Iran was not as close to being nuclear as bush said. Maybe that was why.

OUTING THE CIA (Pt. 2): Cheney Attempted to Destroy CIA Counter-Proliferation

Ambassador Wilson wasn’t the only target of the outing of Valerie Plame. Plame’s employer was. Virtually from the day it took power, Bush-Cheney dismantled the CIA’s weapons control regime and counter-proliferation programs that had targeted countries purchasing nuclear technologies from Pakistan.

The real effect of the Bush-Cheney Administration's actions was the destruction of the CIA Counter-Proliferation Division (CPD), where Valerie Plame worked in the Iran and Iraq units.

The intentional exposure of Valerie Plame on July 14, 2003 wasn’t just a personal vendetta or attempt to silence critics, it was the culmination of a program to undermine the work of a U.S. intelligence program that had been tracking a global nuclear proliferation network centered in Pakistan, run by A.Q. Khan, and financed by Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Countries.
