Valerie Plame: Was She, or Wasn’t She? Newly released documents don’t quite answer the question.
They are some of the most basic questions of the CIA leak investigation: Was Valerie Plame a covert agent when her identity was revealed in a column by Robert Novak on July 14, 2003? Had she been involved in covert work at any time in the previous five years, which could make revealing her status a crime under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act? Was the CIA taking affirmative measures to conceal her identity?
There's a new report today that suggests we finally have some answers. This week's edition of Newsweek says that "Lawyers for Libby, and White House allies, have repeatedly questioned whether Plame, the wife of White House critic Joe Wilson, really had covert status when she was outed to the media in July 2003. But special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald found that Plame had indeed done 'covert work overseas' on counterproliferation matters in the past five years, and the CIA 'was making specific efforts to conceal' her identity, according to newly released portions of a judge's opinion."
They still don't believe it and have come up with the most fantastic reasons.

Plame was working covertly before she was outed. She was part of a secret operation to bring down an enemy regime.
Current status of the operation: FAILED
The target??? .... President George W. Bush and his administration.

Valerie was a top double super secret agent on very important and dangerous missions.
EVERYONE knew this at the time including her neighbors, the press including Andrea Mitchell, friends and most likely even the mailman.
But every body agreed not to tell anyone about it..........
