If she was "covert" was was nobody charged?
She was not covert according to the law
You don't know that and this is not established as a FACT, by any means.
The CIA felt she was covert according to the Law, or they would not have requested the Justice Dept to investigate her "outing".
The Justice dept believed she was classified undercover or they would not have pursued the investigation in to her "outing".
Congress believes she was covert, they said so in their oversight committee based on all the classified information they had gathered....
Fitzgerald, the appointed special investigator... through his FBI Investigators said that she was covert and met the specific criteria in the law to have her identity protected....by listing each and every one of the standards required by the law to be covert, and listing Plame's status according to each, which MET the criteria of being covert under the law.
General Hayden, the new director of central intelligence vetted the information that could be declassified and told to us about valerie plame, and that included the fact that she was a covert, classified undercover officer for the CIA who traveled undercover, overseas, for them, the CIA.
I agree that Libby was not charged with outing her, but charged with lying to investigators, and under oath to the grand jury regarding her outing.
My question to Cocky, was what new evidence could surprise us in his appeal, when appeals usually do not include new evidence not produced in the trial, but a review of the process of the trial?
