You haven't heard of any unless you are a member of the CIA, or at least that's what the policy was in former times.

And whether or not the CIA is moral is not at issue. Morality is not tit for tat, or did that change, too?

Morality? how is that relevant?...
Dick Cheney isn't exactly a bastion of moral fortitude. Profit over humanity.

I posted this link in a post above -- but if you didn't read it, this is a REALLY good story! It's about several of the people who have died working for the CIA and their families and what the CIA does to make it look like they never existed or never worked for the CIA.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv...iamag/cia1.htm

It's hard to believe that some people died over 40 years ago and the CIA still won't release their names.

Here's a link to a Wikipedia article about Valerie Plame. My prediction is that people who are afraid of being confused by facts will not read it.

I don't believe it was important to this administration. They'd just as soon wing it.
