Valerie Plame Wilson: A Victim

She felt like she was hit in the gut
She claims her name was carelessly and recklessly abused by the administration
She was in fact a victim.

Valerie Plame Wilson was a loyal American who risked her life in service as part of the CIA. She was an American spy. Today, she appeared for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to warn Congress on exactly how dangerous and two-faced this administration is. So dangerous they would throw any American to the wolves who disagrees with them...or is close to anyone to disagrees with them.

Today's testimony from Plame Wilson was heartwrenching. Here's a woman who had one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and she wasn't doing it for the fame, for the glory, but for her country. She was a loving wife, mother of two young children and because her husband dared speak to power, she, a wife and mother, was thrown to the wolves.

This case will always to be me the textbook reason this administration has been a disgrace. If this is how they treat American heroes, how can they support the troops? How can they care about any other American? If they would throw a CIA agent to the wolves, any one of us would be foresaken for our beliefs.

Meanwhile, it seems the Wilson are getting the last laugh. The couple is set to move to New Mexico and start a new life...and Joe Wilson has been named as a potential candidate for Congress in New Mexico in the future. Valerie has a book coming out this year; tentatively titled "Fair Game," and will be followed by a movie. (Richard Gere and Sharon Stone have been rumored to star as the Wilsons.)

The administration, meanwhile, is in shambles, with low approval rating, and a Congress controlled by the Democrats tying the hands of the out-of-control Commander-in-Chief.
