Plame bombshell: Her covert identity was previously compromised - in the mid 90’s
So the question now becomes “if she was outed by a spy in the 90’s how covert was she really?” The public may not have known, but the intelligence community did, so how effective was her cover?
And why didn’t the CIA protect her?
The truth is clear though, that the damage to her cover had been done long before Richard Armitage outed her.
It might explain why the CIA didn’t care he was outing her, and why that they ignored her campaign contributions. They knew she wasn’t covert, she was compromised.
CIA officer named prior to column
The identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame was compromised twice before her name appeared in a news column that triggered a federal illegal-disclosure investigation, U.S. officials say.
Mrs. Plame’s identity as an undercover CIA officer was first disclosed to Russia in the mid-1990s by a Moscow spy, said officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
In a second compromise, officials said a more recent inadvertent disclosure resulted in references to Mrs. Plame in confidential documents sent by the CIA to the U.S. Interests Section of the Swiss Embassy in Havana.
The documents were supposed to be sealed from the Cuban government, but intelligence officials said the Cubans read the classified material and learned the secrets contained in them, the officials said.
The article again address the Joe Wilson lied topic.
In 2003, Mr. Wilson publicly debunked reports that Iraq was seeking uranium ore from Niger. Mr. Wilson also said his report ruling out the attempted purchase was ignored.
However, recent reports by the Senate Intelligence Committee and the British government have undermined Mr. Wilson’s charges. The Senate says Mr. Wilson’s report, contrary to his charges, actually bolstered their view that Iraq was seeking uranium ore from Niger.
Just more food for thought. What is becoming more and more clear is that nothing in this debacle is as it seems.
And the reality is that the democrats and the media don’t really care. As long as they can use it against republicans, it doesn’t matter what the truth is.
So I won’t hold my breath hoping that this will get made an 11 o’clock news item.
