If you read the cited O'donnell post ... he speculates the same thing. But its not certan is it? Or did the CIA or Prosecutor disclose this as certian? As some lawyers have pointed out, the first step in a trial will be to establish covertness. If its "certain" and public already, I guess these lawyers are whistling in the wind. --------------------- O'donnell The law has a specific definition of covert agent that she might not fit -- an overseas posting in the last five years, for example. But it's hard to believe the prosecutor didn't begin the grand jury session with a CIA witness certifying that Plame was a covert agent. If the prosecutor couldn't establish that, why bother moving on to the next witness?
