The CIA generally doesn't discuss or bring attention to these sorts of things, especially if they are related to intelligence missions that are still operative. What is true without speculation - at least assuming that the picture has not been photoshopped - is there is an anonymous star in the CIA's Book of Honor: http://sherlock-google.dailykos.com/story/2005/7/20/04918/1941 This means that in 2003 a CIA agent died in the line of duty whose cover is still classified. > > You don't think the White House would be doing everything possible to > > cover it up? > > You do realize that anyone can write a Wikipedia entry, hit submit, and its > up on the site, right? The Wikipedia claim is referenced. One reference is to the Book Of Honor image above, and another is to an August, 2004 essay authored by one Wayne Madsen (whom I'm not familiar with). He is described at the bottom of the essay as 'the author of the forthcoming book: "Jaded Tasks: Big Oil, Black Ops and Brass Plates." He was with the National Security Agency under the Reagan administration. He is now a syndicated columnist and Washington,DC-based investigative journalist.' Here's Madsen's claim: "Make no mistake about it: the violation of the 1982 Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982 by the disclosure of Plame's identity and that of her non-official cover corporate umbrella organization (Brewster, Jennings & Associates) along with its official counterpart, the CIA's Nonproliferation Center - had a disastrous impact on the ability of the United States to track the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction around the world. At least one anonymous star (representing a covert U.S. agent killed while working abroad) placed on the CIA's Wall of Honor during the past year was reportedly a direct result of the disastrous disclosures from Cheney's office." http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/081104_winds_change.shtml Whether this claim is true or not -- and we may never know the answer with certainty -- the fact is that it is a very plausible scenario. And IMO that fact alone is more than enough to warrant putting anyone and everyone responsible for Plame's outing (assuming it was an outing) in jail. "Business as usual"? Gimme a f*cking break. And even if it were "business as usual" - which it's not (I'm still waiting for you to provide us with the names of CIA agents outed by the Clinton and Bush Sr. administrations, EGBH) - it should never be tolerated in any event.

I'm not much of a BB King fan really. I was using him as an example of a charismatic musician who's capable of saying a lot with little technique. Buchanan? Now that guy has some chops.
