It has become rather vague since then. We _don't know_ if it was a political appointee, a career civil servant (someone in the SES could also be referred to as a high administration official, for example), or someone else entirely. All we know for sure is that the CIA doesn't seem to have made any effort to preserve her identity - because Novak himself has said that if the CIA had asked him to keep her name confidential (and he _called them to ask_) he would have done so. And they didn't. The only reason, so far as I can tell, that this became an issue at all is that Joe Wilson is a pathetic publicity hound. Which matches the pretty much universal impression of him that I've heard, so it's not exactly a shock. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
