Hardly. Michael W. Bryant is in the Louisville, KY area and I am in Holland, MI.

Where does a 'tard such as yourself reside?

I believe the correct terminology would be: One and the same.

However, that is indeed not true!

Who cares? She worked a desk in the U.S.A.
She was not a secret agent, just an analyst.

Revealing the identity of a covert CIA officer appears to be in violation of
the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, codified as 50 U.S.C.,
Section 421 (a):
The citation for the federal law here is 50 U.S.C. 421, and was passed as the
Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982. It states:


Whoever, having or having had authorized access to classified information that
identifies a covert agent, intentionally discloses any information identifying
such covert agent to any individual not authorized to receive classified
information, knowing that the information disclosed so identifies such covert
agent and that the United States is taking affirmative measures to conceal such
covert agent's intelligence relationship to the United States, shall be fined
under title 18 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

A retired career ambassador has just publicly accused the President's chief
official political advisor of revealing the identity of a covert intelligence
operative:
an aggravated felony that carries a ten-year term in federal prison.
Yet no newspaper, newsmagazine, wire service article, or television or radio
network news broadcast has yet reported that charge.
SNIP
In addition to putting an end to Valerie Plame's operational usefulness, the
revelation of her identity poses a substantial, perhaps even mortal, threat
to whatever foreign officials or private citizens
might have been supplying her with information about their nations' attempts
to create WMD capacity.
It is quite likely that some of those people are now in dungeons having their
fingernails pulled out, or being subjected to whatever alternative form of
encouragement the local secret police like to use.

Heck, I heard some time ago that everyone knew she worked for the CIA, so it
certainly wasn't a secret.

As I recall.

Ah, the make-it-up-as-you-go-along school of journalism checks in
again.

Nice "sources"! LMAO.

DiverD,

The 'operative words' are "covert agent" was she in-fact a
"covert agent" or employed in some other capacity at the CIA ?

All the descriptions of her employment at the CIA that I have
read have her 'employed' as an "Analyst".

Facts Please - Not Capital Hill BULL ~ RHF

The Spy Next Door
Valerie Wilson, Ideal Mom, Was Also the Ideal Cover
By Richard Leiby and Dana Priest
Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, October 8, 2003; Page A01


One evening this summer, former diplomat Joseph Wilson sat amid the
African-themed decor of his spacious Washington home, sipping a glass
of beer and talking about a trip he took to Niger for the CIA. His
wife, Valerie, was in the kitchen, preparing chicken for a cookout and
arranging red, white and blue napkins.
.....

When Valerie E. Wilson -- maiden name Plame -- introduced herself to a
reporter in her home on July 3, there was no hint she was anything
other than a busy mother with an unflagging smile and classy wardrobe.
She talked a bit about the joys and challenges of twins, then faded
into the background.

One might have thought her to be a financial manager, maybe a real
estate agent -- but never a spy. Few knew her secret: At 22, Plame had
joined the Central Intelligence Agency and traveled the world on
undercover missions.
.....

For the past several years, she has served as an operations officer
working as a weapons proliferation analyst. She told neighbors,
friends and even some of her CIA colleagues that she was an "energy
consultant." She lived behind a facade even after she returned from
abroad. It included a Boston front company named Brewster-Jennings &
Associates, which she listed as her employer on a 1999 form in Federal
Election Commission records for her $1,000 contribution to Al Gore's
presidential primary campaign.

Administration officials confirmed that Brewster-Jennings was a front.
The disclosure of its existence, which came about because it was
listed in the FEC records, magnifies the potential damage related to
the leak of Valerie Wilson's identity: It may give anyone who dealt
with the firm clues to her CIA work. In addition, anyone who ever had
contact with the company, and any foreign person who ever met with
Valerie Plame, innocently or not, might now be suspected of working
with the agency.
.....


A really stupendous - and deadly - blunder on the part of the
administration.

Somehow, it just doesn't seem right. I mean, working for the CIA, and donating money to Al Gore.

It just don't seem right.
