Why is Valerie Plame Wilson referred to as a secretary?

Question

seriously: where did that come from? and why would the CIA have a covert, internationally travelling secretary?

I'm not convinced by anyone who says she wasn't covert - or wasn't an agent. her own book has been redacted by the agency, her superiors testified she was covert, and the exhibit submitted says she was as well...

I'm not seeing any proof from those who support the Administration.

Help!

Answer 1

According to exhibit "A" in the last paragraph (page four), Plame was a classified CIA operative.

Answer 2

Good Grief, valerie plame wilson was a CIA analyst, hardly a covert agent whose outing would interest anyone. She held down a desk, not a secret identity. It was indeed a non-crime cooked up by vindictive and spiteful libs.

Answer 3

She wasn't a secretary. She was a covert CIA operative responsible for operations involving WMD's that could potentially be used against the U.S.

Regardless of where you want ot put her. Her identity was classified. Period. Outing and undercover operative is Treason. enough said.

Answer 4

This is a lie that was perpetrated by the Bush Administration to try to justify and play down the fact that they were involved in exposing a CIA Agent.

Now a book is being published in April by Scott McClellan that confirms that D. Cheney, G. Bush, Scooter Libbey and C. Rove were the masterminds of this plot to get even with Ms. Plames husband for exposing their lies about the Iraq war.

Answer 5

When she was so called outed...she was riding a desk at Langley and making the rounds on the DC cocktail scene and all of the inside the beltway types new she worked for the CIA..the biggest non crime of the century.
