Every time I see that photo I remember, 13 years ago now, a span of time that I think of how each day has been robbed from me, my mind tells me was just almost yesterday, and I think to myself to reconcile why I think she is posing for that photo because I remember from the year 2004, anchored by my completion of Ironman Coeur d'Alene 2004, and of how I used to, for some specific reason in my mind, hold my hands in precisely that same manner over the pockets of my so-called sweatsuit jacket and, see, I look at those photos and I think to myself she is posing for those photos. Because she didn't have the same reason as I for the position of my hands.

She was named in a column by Robert Novak that ran July 14 in The Post and other newspapers.

Murray seeks $1 billion for VA By Hal Bernton Seattle Times staff reporter

U.S. Sen. Patty Murray yesterday sent a letter to the White House asking President Bush to shore up a $1 billion shortfall in Department of Veterans Affairs health-care funding.

Murray, D-Wash., said the deficit could be addressed in an emergency-spending bill in the Senate in the days before the Fourth of July recess.

The shortfall for the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, was disclosed by VA officials last week, prompting Murray to accuse the Bush administration of either "deliberate misdirection or gross incompetence."

Yesterday, Murray held a rally outside the Puget Sound VA Health Care System hospital in Seattle

Yes, Valerie Plame Was Covert

MAY 29, 2007 / 11:00 PM / POLITICAL ANIMAL

YES, VALERIE PLAME WAS COVERT....In a court filing today, Patrick Fitzgerald provides a summary of Valerie Plame Wilson's status with the CIA's Counterproliferation Division at the time she was outed to the press by members of the Bush administration. Guess what? She was covert:

While assigned to CPD, Ms. Wilson engaged in temporary duty (TDY) travel overseas on official business. She traveled at least seven times to more than ten countries. When traveling overseas, Ms. Wilson always traveled under a cover identity sometimes in true name and sometimes in alias but always using cover whether official or non-official cover (NOC) with no ostensible relationship to the CIA. At the time of the initial unauthorized disclosure in the media of Ms. Wilson's employment relationship with the CIA on 14 July 2003, Ms. Wilson was a covert employee for whom the CIA was taking affirmative measures to conceal her intelligence relationship to the United States.

So that settles that. I hope the wingosphere can finally stop bleating about how she wasn't "really" covert and there was no harm in what Libby et. al. did.

On another note, this probably means I was wrong about the reason Fitzgerald didn't try to prosecute anyone for leaking Plame's name. (Libby was tried only for perjury, not for outing a covert agent.) I figured it was because Plame had been working inside the U.S. for six years at the time of the leak, and one of the technical elements of "covert" under the IIPA Act is that the agent has "within the last five years served outside the United States."

But obviously she had been working under cover outside the U.S. quite extensively during the previous five years, which means that Plame almost certainly qualified as "covert" under the specific definitions outlined in IIPA. Nonetheless, for some reason Fitzgerald decided not to bring outing charges against anyone. This suggests that Mark Kleiman has been right all along: Fitzgerald's decision had nothing to do with technical aspects of IIPA, but rather with its scienter requirements. That is, the leakers had to know that leaking Plame's name could be damaging, and Fitzgerald didn't think he had the evidence to make that case. That might have been especially true since the leaks seem to have been authorized at very high levels, something the leakers could have used in their defense at trial.

Anyway, it's still a bit of a mystery. But we're a tiny step closer to understanding it.

from my private journal, as me, Kerry Burgess, typed after being released from the USA Veterans Affairs psychiatric hospital enduring many months sitting in a grungy two-computer room in a homeless shelter on the waterfront in downtown Seattle:

by me, Kerry Burgess, excerpts from my private journals: 11/9/2006 7:21 PM

I can’t remember the exact date I actually got that passport, but I believe it was in July 2002. I remember it was the day I got it that I went into Kirk Tavener’s office, he wanted me to let him know when I got it, and told him something illegal was going on in his office. That was after he showed me that pornographic video, which I believe was sometime in July 2002, although I can’t remember the day. My passport has been stamped for one trip I have taken out of the country. It was stamped 23.01.03 Amsterdam Schipol

Control Voice: (closing narration) The exploration of human behavior under simulated conditions of stress is a commonplace component of the machinery called war. So long as Man anticipates and prepares for combat, be it with neighboring nations or with our neighbors in space, these unreal games must be played, and there are only real men to play them. According to established military procedure, the results of the Ebon maneuvers will be recorded in books and fed into computers for the edification and enlightenment of all the strategists of the future. Perhaps they will learn something.
