Kenneth "The Threatening Storm" Pollack in the NYT proves that he was really a double agent for the appeasers and quislings in the Democratic Party all along:

But within the C.I.A., the exposure of Ms. Plame is now considered an even greater instance of treachery. Ms. Plame, a specialist in nonconventional weapons who worked overseas, had "nonofficial cover," and was what in C.I.A. parlance is called a Noc, the most difficult kind of false identity for the agency to create. While most undercover agency officers disguise their real profession by pretending to be American embassy diplomats or other United States government employees, Ms. Plame passed herself off as a private energy expert. Intelligence experts said that Nocs have especially dangerous jobs.

"Nocs are the holiest of holies," said Kenneth M. Pollack, a former agency officer who is now director of research at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution. "This is real James Bond stuff. You're going overseas posing as a businessman, and if the other government finds out about you, they're probably going to shoot you. The United States has basically no way to protect you."

Nothing to see here, folks. She was clearly just an analyst, and besides everyone knew she was an operative, and besides if her identity was secret, no harm was done. And in any event, she was a Democrat.

Gloating Republicans used to taunt us for defending Clinton over Lewinsky, but I really don't see how one can sink much lower than defending this. Clinton was Alfred Dreyfus compared to the leakers and their accomplices in the Bush Administration.
