It just so happened that Valerie Plame testified before a Congressional committee today. Here's some highlights:

- She was in fact covert
- Her outing ""has jeopardized and even destroyed entire networks of foreign agents."
- Said her work involved gatering intel on WMD
- Her husbands assignment to uncover the bogus claim of the Niger yellowcake wasn't her idea and wasn't an example of nepotism.

What a contrast in style for Ms. Wilson and that lawyer, Toensing. Joe Wilson is a lucky man. As for Toensing, I thought she did a good job in reciting the talking points. What does it matter that Wilson gave money to Gore? She used her cover. How is that relevant?
The crux of her agrument, that Wilson is not covert because she did not reside outside the US is debunked here:
