Rep. Tom Davis, the ranking Republican on the committee, said, "No process can be adopted to protect classified information that no one knows is classified. This looks to me more like a CIA problem than a White House problem."
Plame said she wasn't a lawyer and didn't know what her legal status was but said it shouldn't have mattered to the officials who learned her identity. "They all knew that I worked with the CIA," Plame said. "They might not have known what my status was but that alone — the fact that I worked for the CIA — should have put up a red flag."
Now hold on. I thought the White House "outed" her on purpose. Now it's "well, they may not have known I was an agent, but they should have."
So basically she admits that nobody in the White House purposefully made the fact she was covert public because they didn't know she was. Yet she charges them with that very same thing! Hmmm.... who's really out to ruin someone's career?
