Plame Testifies Before Congress:Confirms She Was Covert

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1457846/posts

Melvin Schuetz from Baylor's Moody Library forwarded Joseph Wilson's bio from the 2003 edition of Who's Who in America [Volume 2 (L-Z)]. He notes:

Wilson's entry carries over about 5 lines to the next column, which is why it cuts off in mid-sentence at the end. The relevant text is "m. Valerie Elise Plame, Apr. 3, 1998," which not only appears in the 2003 edition, but ALL editions from 1999-2005!

So, via Who's Who, the name "Valerie Plame" has been associated publicly with Joe Wilson since the Clinton era - nice secret...

Nice try, Parados, but if you have classified information derived from x + y, it doesn't seem too bright to go around publishing what x is, does it?

Preposterous argument since there is no x+ y creating classified information. there is X and there is Y.

We are talking about connecting the dots, and the actual example is Novak, showing that it is not a preposterous argument at all, because it happened. He didn't have all the dots, so he simply went to Whos Who, and got the remainder of the dots, and connected them. I never claimed the Whos Who information outed Plame all by itself, however it helped facilitate the outing, as revealed to and written about by Novak.

It is totally illogical in my opinion for covert agents to have any information published about them in ways such as this. And this example proves it.

Whos Who is not the only place Wilson disclosed his wife's identity. Okay, so he did not say she was a covert agent, but intelligence agencies around the world are not stupid. Any information surrounding a guy that is running off his mouth about WMD for the CIA is probably going to be run through the computers of intelligence agencies around the world, and that would include anything and everything that is connected with him, surely including his wife.

After all, they only need to refer to Whos Who to find her name. Novak is not the only person capable of connecting dots. He did it without a computer.

And that computer search would have found nothing about Mrs Wilson or Plame working for the CIA.

His lies have to do with logical conclusions. He claims to have proven his conclusions from what he found out in Niger, yet when you examine what he found out, different analysts have differing opinions. Some say what he found out actually disagree with his conclusions.

I'm pretty sure I saw her working a pole in Georgetown. Covert? Not even covered...

But it might turn up any travels [by Plame] to a country or countries.

Have a nice day Cyclop.

Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., just said he has been told by the CIA, in a statement authorized by CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden, that "Miss Wilson's CIA employment status was covert." (Plame does go by the name Valerie Wilson, but is most often referred to in the media as Valerie Plame, her maiden name, because that is how she first came to be known when her name was leaked.)

It appears that Valerie is telling two different stories, one to the senate intelligence committee, and another to Waxman's kangaroo court. Isn't that called "lying under oath?"

I have always had great suspicions, as have others, that the Wilsons outed themselves. Did Fitzgerald put David Corn, Michael Isikoff, and Nicholas Kristof under oath? And how about Joseph Wilson?
And do I hear that the non-political Valerie went dining with Hillary before her congressional testimony? I thought they wanted to get politics out of this?

But it might turn up any travels to a country or countries. That is if she actually did travel as she claimed. Do you remember Able Danger, which used computers to identify and find correlations of identities come up. I would think other intelligence services do similar things. I suspect that they would have files and information compiled for anyone and everyone involved with the CIA, and any family information or incidental information connected to them that they can collect.

Therefore, I find it preposterous that a truly covert agent would desire to have their spouse become a high profile political operative, directly involved in the WMD issue whose wife purportedly specialized in WMD at the CIA, who regularly and routinely publishes information about their spouse. Not smart, Parados. That you blithely pass this off as normal, I can only conclude that you are so partisan that you cannot look at this issue objectively. I maintain as others do that the CIA and the Wilsons have alot of explaining to do, and they bear at least some responsibility in why her identity became known.
