Valerie Plame Was In Charge of "Finding" WMDs In Iraq. The Bush administration didn't get the lies they wanted, so they ruined her career because they could. Booorrriiiing. Also includes crass, evil, crooked, self-defeating and possibly treasonous. YMMV.

Though Cheney was already looking toward war, the officers of the agency's Joint Task Force on Iraq [. . . ] were frantically toiling away in the basement, mounting espionage operations to gather information on the WMD programs Iraq might have. The JTFI was trying to find evidence that would back up the White House's assertion that Iraq was a WMD danger. Its chief of operations was a career undercover officer named Valerie Wilson. More monkeying around on this topic here, including this FPP topic via Teh Linkmastah.
