OUTING A MOLE

The inimitable – why would anyone in their right mind want to? – Mark Morford produces yet another great big grab-bag of shit containing this nugget:

In sum, one could argue that Rove, as part of a multitentacled stratagems to help Bush lie America into war, intentionally blew the cover of an underground CIA agent (Valerie Plame), and did so merely as revenge, as a smear tactic against Plame's husband, who dared suggest, way back when BushCo was downright desperate to mangle CIA intelligence and fabricate any excuse possible to force us into this unwinnable Iraq war, that Saddam might not actually have any WMD at all.

So, as it turns out, Rove revealed Plame as a CIA mole. Underground ... CIA ... mole ... get it?

Anyway, do yourself a favour and read the whole Morford article, it's laughs from start to finish.
