A good point about recruiting CIA overseas operatives on
Edited on Tue Jul-19-05 05:08 PM by tsuki
Ed Schultz. Jim called in. Told Ed Schultz that he was a classmate of Plame's. He said a casualty of the Plame disclosure is not being discussed. That is, how will the CIA recruit overseas operatives and promise them that they will be safe from disclosure?

1. I've made this point before

1. If the US would sell their own out, why would they hesitate to out some Chinese/Russian/Iraqi/Iranian informant?

2. Her contacts are now fair game. Her picture is in the press all over the world. Who knows how many people were compromised - other case officers, their families, foreign informants, innocent people? And for what?

3. What makes it doubly stupid and horrific is that she was working in counterproliferation. One big mistake and it's all over.

2. I am sorry that I missed that point before. But I have now added
it my DSM/CIA Leak portfolio. It is a question with large implications for our future.
