NO QUARTER: Valerie's Thinly Veiled Cover?:
"Valerie's Thinly Veiled Cover?
by
Larry C Johnson
Well, the theater of the absurd that tries to pass for journalism has gone to new lows with a goofy story in today's Chicago Tribune. The article, Internet Blows CIA Cover
claims, 'It's easy to track America's covert operatives. All you need to know is how to navigate the Internet.'
Oh really? Okay Mr. Crewdson (the author of this nonsense). Please search the internet and identify 100 CIA officers for me. Go ahead. Give it a shot. Oh, I forgot, first you need a name. You do not just enter a random name and come up with a flashing sign that says, 'this guy is CIA'. So really what you are saying is that if I tell you someone works for the CIA you can do a search and find out that someone, who is a private consultant, once worked for the U.S. State Department? In other words, you first have to be tipped off to look at a particular person.
Well, Valerie Plame was safe until the White House pointed reporters in her direction. Even if Crewdson's assertion that Valerie's cover was 'thin' (it was not), what we know for a fact is that her neighbors did not know she worked for the CIA. Only those who had a need to know knew."
So is that a good excuse for treason?
