As I start this letter I got the pun. Duh!

p>As a rustic of the hinterlands, perhaps I do not understand the cosmopolitan attitude toward marriage. We simple folk consider that if a couple is married one would not tell the spouse information that the other spouse should not know. Thus it seems that the wife of an ambassador would have as much deep cover that one can purchase at "Victoria's Secret." Once Vallie married Joe her cover became moot. br> -- William Selenke br> Cincinnati, Ohio /p>

I agree with most of your points about the Plamegate non-scandal. However, I find no humor whatever in the illegal exposure of a covert CIA agent, who might indeed face grave personal dangers. You write, "The Democratic leadership apparently believes the pretty female agent could have been assassinated, presumably while shopping among the foreign agents in nearby cosmopolitan Tysons Corner or right there in the produce section at the Safeway, bashed by a coconut-hurling assassin. Okay, okay, so I jest." Yes, and it was in Northern Virginia in 1993 that a Qaeda assassin murdered two CIA analysts right outside agency headquarters.

Not jestworthy in the slightest.
