The episode implicated the last Bush White House and led to the federal court conviction of a high-ranking official in the administration. There was outrage over the outing of the identity of previously covert CIA agent Valerie Plame. Ironically, the former undercover operative hasn’t been shy about hyping a major motion picture about herself. Last month in D.C., she eclipsed even the famous Hollywood stars involved, Naomi Watts and Sean Penn, to promote “Fair Game.”
No wonder Plame would do that. Based on her eponymous book and her husband’s “The Politics of Truth,” today’s political thriller presents her as a martyr.
