Ya...that's the ticket...nothing happened... Ya...that doushebag Plame and her treasonous husband just made it all up. Ya.... nothing to see here ..just move along...
Something DID "happen," SMuggly, in a world where words have almost no actual meaning.... i.e., your world:
The NON-covert non-AGENT (mere stinking ANALYST) wife of a scumbag ex-Ambassador was "outed" (however one might "out" a mere analyst) and the lying scumbag liberoidals got their panties in a twisted knot stuck up their butt cracks because of it.
As a consequence, Fitzy was called upon to "investigate" who done it (as though outing a mere analyst matters). He proceeded to "investigate," even though he knew, from day one, that it was Armitage that done did dood it. And, to his apparent surprise, unable to come up with anything OTHER than that it was Armitage who done the deed, Fitzy blithely proceeded to set up a thinly veiled perjury trap.
Mr. Libby thus got royally fucked for nothing more than a failure of memory over irrelevant conversations.
And to this very day ass-clown rubes like you STILL believe that something actually DID happen.
You hit the nail on the head counselor... It is far more smarter-like to send in a couple hundred thousand troops rather than leave a brass plate covert undercover operation like Brewster Jennings intact. That way so's we ccould send in a few Navy Seals and clean up teerrorists the easy way. Hell fuckin no!!! We don need no stinkin CIA!!!! Fuck it. If one of those fuckin terroist pops his head up we can just bomb a few square city blocks and make damn sure he doesn't have the guts..or arms or legs..or neighbors to do anything!!!!
You could make more retarded arguments, I guess; it's just not clear how you'd do so without voluntarily submitting to another lobotomy. Can you really get lobotomized repeatedly?
Mere fucking analysts, like Ms. Plame, never had a fucking need for the paper thin NOC anyway.
Ah, but you are probably one of the morons who "believes," on faith, that Valerie was actually in competition with 007.
