Continuing public service: L.A. Times Interview with former CIA officer, 2020 congressional candidate Valerie Plame

Valerie Plame, Democrat running for Northern NM's House seat, the former CIA agent whose identity was leaked by Scooter Libby in Cheney's office, known as the 2003 Plame affair, done as political retribution vs her husband’s questioning of the Iraq War. Libby went to prison for lying to Congress. For Plame, nuclear weapon proliferation is the #1 issue facing humanity. She is passionate about education and protecting the environment. On the campaign trail, her district is a mix of rural and urban; a rainbow melting pot of Hispanic, Native American, and Anglo cultures, listening to the concerns that matter in their daily lives and communities. Whatever the election results are, the mission remains the same: finding ways, whether through being a covert agent gathering crucial intelligence or running for public office, to give back to her home country.
