Valerie Plame Super Star, I Mean Agent

Oy vey. Should we be worried that the best the CIA can do is Valerie Plame? Um yes, we should. Should a covert agent's cover be blown? NO! That is a horrible thing to do. Exposing agents, exposing U.S. interests abroad, exposing things like soldier location and missions, etc. are not good anti-terrorist moves. It is especially bad when someone on the Senate Armed Services committee blabs about these things like they are sharing gossip about where the good shoe sale is right now.

But was Valerie so deeply veiled? This article doesn't make her seem so covert. Rather she seems rather overt--as in everyone knew who she was and what she did. The CIA is such a stellar institution. Sheesh!
