"I think she's talking about Valerie Plame . . . whose vocation was known to everyone in Washington."

This statement is false. Please name 4 people in D.C. who have gone on record saying they knew that VP was a CIA operative. Joe Wilson, CIA employees, and others legally entitled to such information do not count. Hearsay evidence does not count.

Ah, so if I only name three it doesn't count?

It's been reported, over and over, that everyone in the executive branch that mattered knew that Joe Wilson's wife was a spook.

"everyone in the executive branch that mattered knew that Joe Wilson's wife was a spook"

I would hope that the executive branch knew who was working for the CIA, cause like well they pay them and supervise them.

The whole point was that they (Rove and Libby)were not supposed to tell other people like Judy Miller, Bob Novak, and Matt Copper, because it was like against the law.

So I will name that song in two notes. Give me the names of two people, not legally entitled to be in the know, who have said that they knew she was a CIA operative. Again Joe Wilson does not count.

Fidel Castro may be one. Reportedly Plame was outed by Aldrich Ames, the victim of an illegal unwaranted search by B. Clinton.

Democrats - Too tough on traitors. I like it!

Still no word from our host. How about one name? And no, Joe Wilson still does not count.

OK I will settle for half a name, first or last, makes no difference.

Alas 'Joe' and 'Wilson', still do not count.

One name: Fred Rustmann:

http://www.washtimes.com/national/20050715-121257-9887r.htm

" A former CIA covert agent who supervised Mrs. Plame early in her career yesterday took issue with her identification as an "undercover agent," saying that she worked for more than five years at the agency's headquarters in Langley and that most of her neighbors and friends knew that she was a CIA employee.
"She made no bones about the fact that she was an agency employee and her husband was a diplomat," Fred Rustmann, a covert agent from 1966 to 1990, told The Washington Times. "

Name Two Through ???: Everyone who ever read Joe Wilson's resume. According to John Podhoretz, Wilson mentioned Val's name and occupation in his consulting company's literature.

Can I have Newcastle instead?

Sorry no beer.

Mr. Rusthmann was VPs supervisor at the CIA. He knew her identity b/c that was his job. Don't you feel just a little pathetic trying to prove that 'everyone in DC' knew VP was a CIA NOC by citing her supervisor. It is sort of like proving everyone knows Madonna's 'real' haircolor by citing her stylist.

His comments about what her neighbors may or may not know are hearsay evidence. In fact the only actual VP neighbor quoted in the article you cite says they did not know VP worked for the CIA.

I am sure is was not for lack of trying that the Wash Times could not find a neighbor to go on record saying VP was CIA.

As for the consulting company lit. I will have to see the article, but there be nothing wrong with referencing her cover job. That is the whole point of a cover job.

Come on Mitch. A man admits his mistakes.
