In a report by NBC news and now countless news agencies it was revealed that Valerie Plame in fact was a covert agent for the CIA (let us put aside what the CIA does for the moment). Patrick Fitzgerald revealed in a court filing yesterday that she was covert traveling under cover many times overseas under her true name and sometimes under an alias.
The NBC report declared: "The unclassified summary of Plame's employment with the CIA at the time that syndicated columnist Robert Novak published her name on July 14, 2003 says, "Ms. Wilson was a covert CIA employee for who the CIA was taking affirmative measures to conceal her intelligence relationship to the United States."
Still, however the "right wing noise machine" who attacked her unmercifully and said countless times that she was not under cover will not apologize or give in. Glenn Greenwald gives a great summary of the idiots who said so.
One not included in his summary was Tony Snow to Larry King saying Plame was not undercover. Will they apologize? Any of them? I am sure not, but it makes the case for Plame's lawsuit to go forward. Further, Washington Post columnist Dan Froomkin points out that Fitzgerald's filing points to Cheney's involvement in the outing of Plame.
The Vice President of the United States outing an undercover CIA agent in a retaliatory fashion. Can you say treason?
