The favorite meme of the right-wing apologists has long been that there
was no crime committed in exposing Valerie Plame’s identity because she
was not a covert agent at the time of Novak’s article (see here, here, here, here, and here).
Rep Elijah Cummings (D-MD) devoted his entire first round of
questioning today to clarifying whether or not Valerie Plame was indeed
“covert” at the time of her outing. Let this be the video that sets the
record straight once and for all. I don’t anticipate an apology from
the wingnuts anytime soon, however.

Valerie Plame never was a 007 and her identity was not secret at the time her and her husband’s dubious deeds were leaked to the press. This blond bimbo had posed in Vanity Fair magazine and made her credentials known to the public long before any such leak occurred. Prior to Robert Novak’s July 14, 2003 article that revealed Valerie Wilson Plame’s name and employment at the CIA here association with Joe Wilson was pretty easy to find on the Internet.
You’re just plain wrong on about three different points.
“At all relevant times from January 1, 2002 through July 2003, Valerie Wilson was employed by the CIA, and her employment status was classified. Prior to July 14, 2003, Valerie Wilson’s affiliation with the CIA was not common knowledge outside the intelligence community.”
