Outing him is about like “outing” George Tenet" So you're saying that Mr. Martinez and his family have nothing at all to be concerned about? Let's make this a little more pointed: How would you like to be their bodyguard now? Safe, easy job - right? Covert officer or not, his identity should have been kept confidential for his and his family's safety - it's blindingly obvious. Valerie Plame was never put in any danger due to her exposure. At most, it might have precluded her accepting any future field assignments, which was highly unlikely anyway considering her career trajectory at that point. There is no equivalence here. None. What the NYT did is utterly despicable. “…he was never a covert officer unlike Plame who was. Outing him is about like “outing” George Tenet”
