more excuses and lies re: Plame outing (from Fox)

Report: Plame Gave Money to Anti-Bush Group

WASHINGTON — Outed CIA spy Valerie Plame last fall gave a campaign contribution to go toward an anti-Bush fund-raising concert starring Bruce Springsteen, it was revealed Tuesday night.
---
The $372 donation to the anti-Bush group America Coming Together (search), first reported by Time magazine's Web site, was made in Plame's married name of Valerie E. Wilson and covered two tickets.

---
So now it seems ok to out an undercover CIA agent if they dare to go to a Bruce Springsteen concert!
---
CIA rules allow campaign contributions, but the fact that Plame gave money to the anti-Bush effort is likely to raise eyebrows.

---
Obviously, she did nothing improper, but that means nothing to the repugs.

White House officials say Rove was seeking to discredit Wilson's attacks on Bush by noting that Wilson only got picked for the CIA mission because of his wife.

A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report found that Plame did arrange her husband's trip even though he repeatedly denied it.

Wow! So many lies within so few sentences! Wilson didn't "attack" bush - he simply told the truth about the mission he was sent on by the US government. I would think that it would be a crime to lie to the government agency that you work for!
Also, it has been repeatedly proven that Plame did NOT arrange the trip - that is pure fabrication! She did recommend him, seeing as he had the experience needed for the assignment, but she did not have the authority to send him herself.
And, regardless of the fact that none of those accusations are true, why does that excuse compromising US security by outing an undercover agent and her "cover" job, thus exposing many more agents?!
