Imagine, being married to a torturer?

I wonder how many CIA people Cheney and his pals killed when they outed Valeria Plame?

[Tinsdale]

There was a great deal of conjecture about the anonymous star when it appeared on the Wall of Honor at Langley. Its appearance fit the time frame of the outing of Valerie Plame and the Brewster Jennings Company. The revelation that it was Mr. Wenzel, the victim of a drunk driver, seems unprecedented. The stars are usually unveiled and kept permanently anonymous so that others that may be linked to that individual can be kept out of harm's way and any related covert operations are not jeopardized.

She wasn't deployed as a covert operative at the time. The only thing that happened is that she had to work for CIA in the U.S. after that, no more covert ops. End of story.

[jsgaetano]

Oh that's right, if you are in the United States, you obviously can't be part of the CIA. You make no sense, but then again, if you did, you wouldnt be a conservative.

Did you even read Novak's stories? It outlined the entire Brewster-Jennings operation... which was tragic, since it took over a decade to set up and had been, up to that point, incredibly successful.

So much for "keeping America safe", huh? The far right doesn't actually want to get rid of terrorists... it's too lucrative.

This guy gave his life in the service of U.S. meddling in the affairs of foreign nations, thereby creating 60 years of blow-back against the USA and 9/11. The CIA is part of the problem, not the solution.

[Tinsdale]

You have no idea how "this guy" gave his life in the service of the United States. It may come as a surprise but other nations have intelligence agencies that are actively attempting to meddle in the affairs of the United States.

[zukervati]

All other issues aside, this hombre gave his life for our country - despite your personal opinion, the dude did his job and paid for it with his life - not many of us can make that claim!

[marbiol]

CORRECT...as long they are in our armed forces. Civilains? thatr may be a different story...

[Ping]

Big morale problem at the agency. Is that right Leon?

[brandnewstuff]

Risk to Ratio-
12, 998 people died in the United States from Drunk Drivers 2007 stats from MADD
I am not trying to marinalize this young male death- at least his death has an explaination
that is not a "State Secret" which is an abuse of CIA

[jmpurser]

Was he one of our torturers? Or someone honorably serving our nation? Was this a hero or a villain?

We're never going to know without an investigation.

[Hnorc]

Wish your Mom had visited Dr. Tiller.

[Altruth]

Anyone know how find out the names of the others?

[Tom Joad]

...we could tell you, but then we'd have to...oh, you know...

[Altruth]

lol NOT!
