NOC-around Guys

The GOP Rove apologists who have taken to the airwaves and blogs of late seem to have purchased an irrationally exuberant amount of stock in "the accepted narrative" -- namely, that Valerie Plame has been working a desk job in DC for over 5 years.

Uh, hello? SHE WAS A NOC, FOLKS. That means "non-official cover," which means that her work was SO clandestine, the CIA will never officially acknowledge it.

Let me try to put it into even smaller words, for the benefit of our fact-allergic, spin-addicted wingnut brethren: "The official story" of Plame's past five-year job history is A LIE.
