Langley, Virginia?
Was she invisible?

Good Question!
Based on her testimony, she seems to see herself as some type of "master-spy". She implied that, by her alleged "outing", intelligence networks around the globe were destroyed. Western Civilization was shaken to its very foundations and life as we know it hung on the brink of disaster.
It makes great fodder for the left's ongoing efforts to bash-Bush doesn't it!
Want to take bets on the lead story on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and MSNBC's evening news shows?

it really is astounding that the man who wrote the regulation masking the "time out of covert operatives" suggested that Ms. Plame's responsibilities on the CIA did not fall below the prestige of "covert". 2d, if she replaced right into a covert operative, why wasn't Armatige prosecuted. And 0.33, why did Fitzgerald proceed the analyze even as he KNEW withing the first month of the analyze that it replaced into Armatige that had leaked the assistance to Novak and Woodward. Novak stated that he had instructed Fitzgerald on the starting up of the analyze that it replaced into Armatige that had leaked him the assistance. BTW, once you're so in touch about authorities leaks, the position is your outrage about each of the secret authorities operations in the course of the conflict adverse to terrorists? the position is your outrage about the leaks on how we were accumulating intelligence on terrorists with assistance from taping THEIR telephone conversations? Your indignation about this looks somewhat hollow.

I think the left is just pulling our legs. They don't honestly believe she was covert they just like to say it to get our ire up. You'd have to be a complete moron not realize that she does not meet the criteria for a covert CIA agent. Had she been out of the country in the last 5 years? Nope, disqualified from being covered by the Identities Act.

She wasn't protected under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, at least according to the definition of the law, and the CIA.
Furthermore, this begs the question, and per the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, why was Wilson sent to Niger? Their response: Because his wife worked at the CIA. Wilson perjured himself when he said he was sent by "Cheney's office".

According to the article I've read, what she stated was covert does not fit the actual description of covert. I think that this is going to blow back in their faces and it won't be pretty.

She was undercover as a soccer mom. She was highly trained at how to do car pools and dropping kids off at school. She also was trained to recognize how she was being tailed. Yeah right!

Scooter Libby was convicted on four felony counts, he "IS" a criminal, nobody made up the charges or lied about him. Blaming his victim is asinine. 8 heads rolled in order for the Bush administration to send the message to not prosecute any more criminal elements with in the administration, and the Attorney General of the United States is being pressured to resign because of Republican criminal activity directed by Carl Rove. Yet still somehow neo-con spun media attacks the liberal Democrats. Please, try to use the few brain cells that are still flickering, Bush & Cheney are criminals, and Libby is their fall guy, Rove is the hatchet man doing the deeds, and providing them with plausable deniability. Pretending it's not happening, or simply denying the obvious is beyond insane, it's stupid.

Thousands of people work in Langley...secretarys, janitors, computer geeks, cafeteria workers...they aren't covert.
Those who are covert are just that....they come to work and nobody knows what they do....

It's her status as an undercover agent that was classified.
The issue was whether federal laws were broken by releasing information that had been designated as classified. Not whether the information should have been so designated in the first place.
