Doug, Valerie Plame was a CIA covert officer "outed" by Cheney's crew for political purposes (essentially, her husband issued a report on one of the specious claims in the run-up to the Iraq war, and the Rethuglicans tried to make it sound like his trip (to Niger) was a luxury cruise arranged by his wife (a trip to Niger? Were they serious?). Pure unadulterated BS, but to make it stick, they released the classified information that his wire worked for the CIA. Since she was covert, it constituted a crime. Scooter Libby was convicted of obstruction of justice in the case, but his sentence was vacated by President Bush. No one else was convicted (that's what "obstruction of justice" can do for you), but that is why "Valerie Plame" is a sore point for Democrats.

So, your ignorance is once again made extremely evident. Till you can exhibit even a modicum of it, I, for one, will ignore you. Or, should it amuse me, mock you.

You ARE the weakest link. Good-bye.
