Republican Prosecutor Fitzgerald Says Plame Was a Covert Agent: "May 29, 2007 - In new court filings, special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald has finally resolved one of the most disputed issues at the core of the long-running CIA leak controversy: Valerie Plame Wilson, he asserts, was a “covert” CIA officer who repeatedly traveled overseas using a “cover identity” in order to disguise her relationship with the agency..."
"...“It was clear from very early in the investigation that Ms. Wilson qualified under the relevant statute as a covert agent whose identity had been disclosed by public officials, including Mr. Libby, to the press,” Fitzgerald wrote in a sentencing memorandum filed late last Friday night.
How long until the GOP realizes that it's living in a diorama at the hip new Creationist Museum?
But wait, there's more !
"...“She traveled at least seven times to more than 10 countries,” the document states. “When traveling overseas, Ms. Wilson always traveled under a cover identity….At the time of the initial unauthorized disclosure in the media of Ms. Wilson’s employment relationship with the CIA on 14 July 2003, Ms. Wilson was a covert CIA employe for whom the CIA was taking affirmative measures to conceal her intelligence relationship to the United States.”
So, let me get this straight: Plame was a covert agent - according to the CIA, and yet the vast GOP - and the incompetent insaniacs in the White House, say Fitzgerald is... what? a liar?
