Spies get found out, it happens for whatever reason
Yeah, in this case for cheap political spite. I've read nothing anywhere about Plame having already been outed before 2003. For the purposes of debating on this board, being able to back up your statements with sources is vital. For instance, you spoke of a poll, while I sourced a USA Today/Gallup poll from a week ago that said the polar opposite of yours. Given the vast disparity, which do you think people on this board should accept? You memory or my link to a source?

Yeah, really. You disagree? Make your case.

If you can, then go look for Plame and Wilson.
I have. I also sourced the CIA report to the (Republican led) Congressional.

One would do nicely. I believe you are confusing active duty with covert duty. The CIA doesn't routinely give out the names of their agents who are no longer operating in secret. For one thing, that would very often be a death sentence for the agent. For another, the CIA might need to use her again, considering all the contacts and access spooks develop over the years.
Additionally, it jeapordizes anyone who ever dealt with her in the past. All a foriegn intelligence service needs to do is backtrack through her various positions, see who she was dealing with and, bingo, you're uncovering sources.

Sean Hannity? Get Real!
Sean Hannity interviewing a former agent who left in 1990. Even better.
