On CSPAN, CNN and FOX now, I just read it on a live blog. Waxman started off by quoting Poppy Bush about how reprehensible it is to disclose a CIA agent's identity.Plame was a GS-14 level 6, whatever that means. Confirmed she worked on WMD without giving details. Was covert up until time of Novak's column.
Suck on that, Republican spin-meisters.
