Roberts is quite right; the law is very clear on what a "covert agent" is and is not. Plame clearly is not.
The incompetence at TPM Cafe is quite amusing. Maybe you should spend more time reading the law and less time regurgitating DNC talking points.
As an aside, Plame's CIA dept also has it's own famous claim to incompetence: the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Serbia was reportedly fed to the Pentagon by them. Not only that, the coordinates were a mislabeled guess. Sheesh.

Sorry, but dismissing the Butler Report and the Senate SSCI on the grounds the ISG somehow "clearly trumps" them just reeks of desperation.
Remember, the whole point of this little exercise was whether Bush misled people in the SOTU address where he said British intelligence believed Saddam was seeking uranium in Africa. Joe Wilson came out and said his trip had proved it wasn't true, and that his wife had nothing to do with sending him; the Senate report later said he lied on both counts.
It should be obvious that nothing the ISG did <b>after the war</b> can remotely be construed as speaking to the state of <b>prewar</b> intelligence.
Give it up, Josh. You might have had a point once, but now you're just embarassing yourself and your cause.
