Frywesty posts, I don't have a lot of confidence or trust in an administration that would leak a CIA operative's identity to the press to enact revenge on her husband for criticizing the Bush administration's Iraq policy
Good thing I read quite a bit or I might have fallen for the medias hysteria over the big leak, too. For all the danger and retribution that might have befallen outed operative Valerie Plame, it should be noted that she and her husband Joseph Wilson were able to set aside their fears and submit to a lengthy Vanity Fair piece promoting their take on this uncomfortable but probably profitable predicament, including a two-page color photo of the two of them (just in case al queda wasn't sure what she looked like, I suppose). But what I find most alarming is their description of the beginning of their romance - when they were both married to other people, naturally. It seems that on their third or fourth date, in the middle of a heavy make-out session, Plame told Wilson she was undercover in the CIA.
And there we have it. Our "asset", a trained and experienced operative, giving it up to some adulterous political hack on their third or fourth date during a make-out session. Is there any possibility whatsoever that this kind of disclosure falls within the code of conduct and strict agency rules regarding revelation of identity and occupation for an undercover operative? No, of course not! Moreover, this passion-activated revelation had almost certainly peeked out from under the covers prior to this incident. The fact that these two self-indulgent fools eventually left their spouses and married does nothing to minimize the probability that this was not the first time Plame violated her oath and duty. What a pathetic face Plame puts on all of our truly undercover operatives, who toil in disciplined obscurity to make us safe.
