For one thing, I think you are entirely mistaken about whether covert agents work at Langley. For another, what about the "private" company she worked with? Now that she has been outed, so are they. Gee, thanks, Karl.

In addition, what a stupid idea to have an ambassador's wife be a secret agent...

So that makes it OK to blow her cover? That's even sillier than the story the RNC guy was concocting on TV yesterday.

My question is why did the CIA send an obvious political hack with no investigative experience and no experience in WMD (Nuclear or otherwise) on an investigative trip to begin with? Wilson wouldn't have known yellow cake if it jumped up and smacked him.

Maybe because he had years of experience in Niger and was one of the most knowledgable people the US had available for the job? Plus, has anyone identified any mistakes in his analysis?

...It would be very Rovesque if there was all this political blood in the water and the investigation eventually led straight to a high ranking Democrat.

That's the truth. I think W and Rove are just playing rope-a-dope. Their lap dogs in the media are going to ensure that the Dems wind up looking stupid, again.

As he was Clinton's National Security Advisor I guess he could claim ignorance as a defense.

Oh, that's really relevant to the Rove situation.
