[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Veers: [qb] [URL=http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/10/01/wilson.cia/index.html]From CNN[/URL] Passage of note: [QUOTE] Sources told CNN said Plame is not an analyst, but a CIA operations officer. She was an active overseas undercover officer for many years and more recently has been working at a management level within the operations section of the CIA, the sources said. [/QUOTE]This was also on NBC News today. Said Andrea Mitchell (as best I can remember): "Contrary to some reports, Wilson's wife is in fact an undrecover operative, working for the CIA's Directorate of Operations." I suppose CNN and NBC could be part of some liberal conspiracy to discredit the president, though. [/qb][/QUOTE]"Operations officer" does not equal "undercover operative." Note the significant [b]"was"[/b] and [b]"more recently"[/b] As for NBC's comments: did Ms. Mitchell back that statement up with any quotes, and is your memory certain? Listen, when Novak called the CIA to confirm his story, they could have said: 1.) No comment. 2.) We don't discuss agency personel. 3.) Where did you get this priviliged info? Releasing it puts the lives of our agents at risk and violates a federal law carrying a mandatory 10 year sentence. Instead, they said "it wouldn't be a good idea" to publish Plame's name. Not very forceful, given the choices. In doing so they basically confirmed that she was an agency operative, solidifying the leak, not acting to stop it. In other words, [b]someone at CIA[/b] confirmed this unsubstantiated leak. There's your person who should be strung up. As for those who are seeking "independent counsel"... I nominate Ken Starr. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
