The CIA blasted CNN this morning for this untrue inaccurate story. Hatred can be blinding to some.
Seriously, what do you expect the CIA to say?
The Plame affair (also known as the CIA leak scandal and Plamegate) was a political scandal that revolved around journalist Robert Novak’s public identification of Valerie Plame as a covert Central Intelligence Agency officer in 2003.
In 2002, Plame wrote a memo to her superiors in which she expressed hesitation in recommending her husband, former diplomat Joseph C. Wilson, to the CIA for a mission to Niger to investigate claims that Iraq had arranged to purchase and import uranium from the country, but stated that he “may be in a position to assist”.
After President George W. Bush stated that “Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa” during the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Wilson published a July 2003 op-ed in The New York Times stating his doubts during the mission that any such transaction with Iraq had taken place.
A week after Wilson’s op-ed was published, Novak published a column which mentioned claims from “two senior administration officials” that Plame had been the one to suggest sending her husband. Novak had learned of Plame’s employment, which was classified information, from State Department official Richard Armitage. David Corn and others suggested that Armitage and other officials had leaked the information as political retribution for Wilson’s article.
The scandal led to a criminal investigation; no one was charged for the leak itself. Scooter Libby was convicted of lying to investigators. His prison sentence was ultimately commuted by President Bush, and he was pardoned by President Donald Trump in 2018.

Sorry sgsmith but the operative that CNN outed and put lives at risk were not political hacks like Valerie and JoJo. It seems that the left just can’t leave Russia alone. From Comey to Schiff they think Americans will fall for anything. And 49% do.
“…they think Americans will fall for anything.”
Well yeah! A lot of idiotic Americans fell for tRump’s con job. And a lot of them STILL believe that he isn’t the sack of orange shit which he truly is and one of the yugest (not a typo) traitors to the USA of all time. Heck, some of them outright show their stupidity by typing their useless commentary on websites and then give their username as something so god-awful as Trump 2020.
These people WILL fall for everything that goes against what should be their own best interests.
What a character.

If you’re referring to to me, then yes, guilty as charged with being a character.
Heck, you of all people oughta know. You’ve probably portrayed over 5000 characters in your time here on TW comment boards. Your sock-puppetry is legendary in your own mind! I’m sure that you find yourself so clever each time you think up a new username to attach to your useless commentary. While you’re basking in what you believe to be your clever glory, the rest of us just groan at your tired efforts.
Please, take a well deserved vacation from the TW comment threads. A permanent one is a great option.
why does this cartoonist always pick the easiest subjects to satirize? come up with something original plz
