One thing I've never understood about the Plame story is how her CIA role affected the facts of the Niger case. I can understand that destroying her career could be retribution for Wilson's whistleblowing, but news coverage has often characterized the outing as an attempt to discredit the facts of the case. Does anyone know how that was supposed to have worked?

Super-secret government source: You know Joe Wilson's Niger story? Pure bunk! His wife's CIA!

Reporter: CIA, huh? I guess I can't believe anything Wilson says!

Were they trying to say that the CIA was trying to undercut the administration?
