re: The publication of her name left CIA officers aghast. "All the people who had innocent lunches with her overseas or went shopping or played tennis with her, I'm sure they are having heart attacks right now," said one classmate of Plame's who participated in covert operations. "I would be in hiding now if I were them Methinks the lady does protest too much. Um, wasn't the NOC slightly bent out of shape by her marrying an American diplomat? Isn't that why she was pulled back to HQ? I sense a lot of CIA 'outrage' waiting for a handy stone to throw. Some of that 'outrage' doubtless comes from being dissed by Rummy et al, but some also comes from the need to deflect attention from what a horrible job they've been doing, intelligence-wise. The idea that Saddam had lots of WMD was not an invention of Rummy and the neocons.

The publication of her name left CIA officers aghast. "All the people who had innocent lunches with her overseas or went shopping or played tennis with her, I'm sure they are having heart attacks right now," said one classmate of Plame's who participated in covert operations. "I would be in hiding now if I were them." Bare your soul and tell all your WMD secrets to a soccer mom. Now, that's cover, except for the fact that soccer moms and tennis moms and Ladies Who Lunch and Shop don't really have much worthwhile to tell about WMDs, do they? Riiiight. That's the story and they're sticking to it. Mesdames Clouseau. Oh, please. The Washington Pest is delirious. LMAO.
