Bill Nelson: “I ask the minority leader if he would comment further after his clear statement of having five times requested…”

“I ask the minority leader if he would comment further after his clear statement of having five times requested information about discrepancies in the White House with regard to the outing of a CIA agent. If I recall, when this fiasco broke several weeks ago, there was an attempt to minimize it by stating that the CIA employee was merely an analyst, not an operative. It is my subsequent understanding that, to the contrary of that minimization, the CIA agent whose identity was made public by someone in the administration clearly was a very important operative, as reported, I believe, in the Washington Post. Would the minority leader comment on the seriousness of this kind of outing, on the seriousness of it with regard to the security interests of the United States?”
