The CIA Memorial Wall

On the north wall of the Original Headquarters Building lobby, to the right as you enter, is a
memorial wall that was commissioned by the CIA Fine Arts Commission in May 1973 and sculpted
by Harold Vogel in July 1974. With the simple inscription "IN HONOR OF THOSE MEMBERS OF THE
CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY,"
this wall of 83 stars stands as a silent, simple memorial to those CIA officers who made the
ultimate sacrifice. The glass-encased Book of Honor below the stars lists the 48 names of
officers which can be revealed; while the names of the remaining 35 officers must remain secret,
even in death. Framed by the American and the Central Intelligence Agency flags, this memorial
immortalizes these anonymous few who served and sacrificed in silence.

This is what the White House was threatening those intelligence agents with if they didn't play along with them to falsify information to promote the war in Iraq. This is what they exposed Valerie Wilson and her colleagues to because her husband had the audacity to tell the truth.

1. Damn, never thought of that.

Just think about how easy it would be to "disappear" a CIA agent.
