I've been baffled at how the right can continue to question whether Valerie Plame was covert. Both she and Fitzgerald have said she was and what's more it was the CIA that began the investigation, why would they do that if the statute didn't apply to her? Tim Grieve at salon list some of the Conservative commentators weighing in.
Tucker Carlson comes off as the ass that he is: "MSNBC host Tucker Carlson, whose father, Richard Carlson, is on the advisory committee for the fund set up to help pay for Libby's defense, told Salon that he believes the CIA was defining Plame as covert at the time of Novak's column, but questioned the definition. "If it is in fact true that she had served under nonofficial cover and was then working at Langley, the story is why was CIA calling her covert? ... I'm covert too, how does that sound? What does that mean?" Carlson said. "CIA clearly didn't really give a shit about keeping her identity secret if she's going to work at fucking Langley."
