[...] But as another indication of how interesting our times have become, the central issue is no longer about Valerie Plame or Joe Wilson. As Ron Chusid writes in the Democratic Daily Blog, the goal of the Bush Administration leakers was to discredit anyone who criticized Bush. It was not about explaining the President’s reasons for invading Iraq; it was not about setting records straight; it was not about preventing Matt Cooper from publishing inaccurate information; it was about shutting down legitimate criticism of Administration policies.

February 13, 2006 Let’s See How the Righties Bury This One
Filed under: Valerie Plame, Weapons of Mass Destruction, National Security — maha @ 4:40 pm Dafna Linzer reported in the Washington Post (October 29, 2005): More than Valerie Plame’s identity was exposed when her name appeared in a syndicated column in the summer of 2003. A small Boston company listed as her employer suddenly was shown to be a bogus CIA front.
I am sure in the six degrees of separation parlance, this does not bode well for our 2004 Presidential candidate John Kerry and what ties he may have in the Boston community to this exposed front. Michael Isakoff oughta look under the hood on this one and find out what has happened with this front henceforth. It may very well serve as proof of both damage, contrary to Woodward, and true classified status of Mrs. Plame Wilson.
Frank from Miami contributed to this report.

[...] As explained by two former agents who were interviewed by Rita Cosby: JIM MARCINKOWSKY, FORMER CIA AGENT WHO TRAINED WITH PLAME: We‘re outraged. Betrayal—I mean, that‘s the—that‘s the lowest description I can put on it. We held this secret for 18 years until betrayed by the White House, whether we were inside the agency or outside the agency. It‘s is simply outrageous. [...]
