outing a covert warrioress

I view news about the intelligence gathering profession with a great deal of interest I had family members that were cold warriors in the 50's, 60's and 70's. I had one member of the family tell his children that if anyone came up to them and spoke to them in russian and were strangers they were to run home or find mommy and daddy immeadiately to get to safety at once then he asked why they should do it, They replied because the person could hurt them... He told them bluntly that the person would kill them to get to him, Why was not explained until the children were in their late 20's... it led to speculation about what dad did that people wanted revenge on him during their younger years...

People in the covert world live dangerous day to day lives whether they live in America or are working in foreign countries or are foriegn operatives...Rarely do their families live with them in foriegn locales it is to dangerous in case a cover is broken... In the 50's or maybe the 60's in Vienna Russian operatives were torturing for days and killing foreign operatives working for Nato. The CIA and british Intelligence sent a team in to clean up the mess by killing the Russian operatives in ways that would contain their operation every soviet operative that knew of these people identity were killed any that were missed were made certain to be so low level and powerless they would afraid to go on with their mission... Soviet housekeeping staff were double agents and after the mission was completed they were all wisked away and given dental treatment and AMerican Identities.. So when that old foreign lady at the nursing home tells she was a double agent and her teeth are great condition she might be telling the truth.

But to get to Valerie Plame. Today 80 year old spies who fought the cold war are coming out of the covert intelligence closet but the cold war is over and any of their adversaries and dead or just as infirm...During the cold war foreign operatives were protect and treated like a precious commodity the person recruiting them were trained and identity protected for if their identity were known then none of the operatives they recruited would be safe... in the covert world the enemy does not play nice these people are compromised they and their families are in CRITICAL DANGER... but for someone who is born with a silver spoon up their nose Bush does not understand that a good and reliable foreign operative is worth their weight in cocaine measured in Kilos not grams...

How many of these people and their families have died and will die in the future is not known everyone of these people, their dead bodies should be hung around Bush neck like an albatross and he should allowed no entry or peace in any port on earth...If anyone cries out to made a modern Flying Dutchman is Bush and his crew...

For Valerie there will be a lifetime of worry for loved ones and herself.. The quiet perculating fear and anxiety that ever operative has, will in her be greater and uncalled for will this racheting up of fear be... My heart goes out to her and her loved ones... Also there will be the sorrow for the death of comrades even if they were foreigners....What complacent and emotionally fat americans do not understand is the sacrifice of covert warriors.. The emotional and psychological suffering and pain these people face.. The horrors they face daily the fear for families...There is no post traumatic stress treatment for spies and no disability for them like disabled vets they quietly go on hoping even after leaving that the enemy never know their name...The Bush administration took that hope away from Valerie of anonymity to her enemy by announcing in the US media her identity because he was peeved at her husband... Loose lips sink Ships and the GReatest breach in US security and Intelligence is not a movie with Chris Cooper in it It is George W. Bush....

Oh printing the instructions on building a nuclear weapon on the Internet in Arabic was a swift boat move, very smart not.... All spies in my family are dead and all suffered for their loyalty to America but they died before the Plame incident secure in the knowledge that America would never sell them out...YOU COULD NOT EVEN LEAVE MY GENERATION OR THE NEXT THAT SIMPLE SECURITY...You are Self will run riot Bush and addictive personality if there was ever was one a dry drunk and the conservative and various branches of Christianity are to blame for putting such an unstable individual in power.
