The prosecutor has closed the case. The leaker is known, but wasn’t charged with a crime. Another was convicted of lying, not leaking. And now Democrats have called Valerie Plame to testify about… nothing.

The Washington Post starts its article with this jewel:

She has been silent nearly four years.

Really?

Is the $2.5 million book deal part of her “silence”?

Is the Warner Brothers movie part of her “silence”?

Is the website setup soliciting donations for her part of her “silence”?

Was the Vanity Fair interview, complete with full color centerfold picture of her part of her “silence”?

Is pretending to be a celebrity on the red carpet part of her “silence”?

Was posing for Time Magazine in her pajamas part of her “silence”?

She’s about as “silent” now as she was “covert” then…
