Novak: Wilson's Wife Not a Covert CIA Agent
The wife of Bush-bashing former U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Joe Wilson is
apparently not a covert CIA operative or an undercover agent, though she's
been described that way repeatedly since the CIA asked for an investigation
on how her identity was made public.
According to columnist Robert Novak, who revealed Mrs. Wilson's name in his
July 14 column, sources at the CIA expressly told him she was not a spy.
"According to a confidential source at the CIA, Mrs. Wilson was an analyst,
not a spy, not a covert operative, and not in charge of undercover
operatives," Novak told his audience on CNN's "Crossfire."
"So what is the fuss about?" he asked, then wondered aloud, "Pure
Bush-bashing?"
In fact, in a little-noticed line in the initial Washington Post report on
the announcement of the CIA's request for an investigation, the paper noted
that "the CIA has declined to confirm whether she was undercover."
Still, hours after Novak went public with a clarification of Mrs. Wilson's
status, she was described as a "undercover agent" by former White House
chief of staff David Gergen in an interview with Fox News Channel's Greta
Van Susteren, and as a "covert agent" by MSNBC's Chris Matthews.

ideology coupled with a system that believed in the superiority of the state
at the expense of the individual was murderously synergistic.
