Gina Cobb calls out the many, many folks who pushed the treason meme for the Wilson / Plame affair.
Of course, if you enjoy getting bad advice from who won’t even admit it when they’re wrong or apply principles consistently from one situation to the next, by all means, continue listening to the commentators who are [...]

Howard has it correct. Richard Armitage could have saved us all a lot of work.

In an act of breathtaking stupidity, the loony left tag team of Yellowcake Joe Wilson and Yummy Valerie Plame have filed suit against a variety of people in and out of the Administration.

Tomorrow is the big day for the grand jury. As far as I can tell, there have been no leaks from the jury or the prosecutor’s office. Everything else is either speculation, or a crime, since people are not supposed to discuss their testimony.
Recall that a large number of people have testified. The grand jury [...]

The Washington Post had a long article about Ms. Plame yesterday. Just another typical soccer mom, with AK-47 skills:
Plame was recruited by the agency shortly after graduation from Pennsylvania State University, sources said. She later earned two master’s degrees, one from the London School of Economics and one from the College of Europe in Bruges, [...]

Drudge is now quoting Bob Novak, without a link at this moment.
In July I was interviewing a senior administration official on amb. Wilson’s report when he told the trip was inspired by his wife, a CIA employee working on weapons of mass destruction. Another senior official told me the same thing. As a professional journalist [...]

There are many curious features to this affair. Wilson was clearly not an individual that the White House would have picked to send to Niger. He readily admits that his time there was spent drinking tea with a dozen or so officials from the Government of Niger. Hardly “nose to the grindstone” stuff, and unlikely [...]

Who outed Valerie Plame? Well, to begin with, her husband. She is named in at least one on-line bio. Jane Galt has an appropriate comment or two:
For one thing, it’s not clear that she was an undercover operative. This didn’t happen without the knowlege of the CIA; Novak checked with them first, and they didn’t [...]

She really is invisible, you know. Other than the mentions since the Novak piece, and her name in Wilson’s on-line bios, nothing on the Net.
What bothers me is the silence, since she must have done something. Heck, searching my name finds things I wrote in 1985. Did she go to college, publish, anything?
UPDATE: I found [...]
