Lame Plame plays lame game before congressional committee
Valarie Plame claims that the Bush administration blew her cover as a CIA operative in order to discredit her husband, Joe Wilson, who had written a report denying the administration claim that Saddam Hussein had sought yellow cake uranium in Nigeria.
Only two things wrong with that. First, despite the lie Plame, the Democrats, and their allies in the media keep repeating, Plame had no cover to blow. She was not an undercover operative, but a mere analyst; her job was no secret, was in fact widely known in Washington, and could be readily discovered by anyone with access to a copy of Who's Who.
And second, her husband discredit himself with the report. It has since been conclusively proven that Saddam in fact did precisely what Wilson's report denied that he had done.
