PLAME 'RETIREMENT' STRICTLY VOLUNTARY
DEBORAH ORIN Bureau Chief
WASHINGTON - A liberal activist group yesterday said it appears that outed CIA agent Valerie Plame supplied the false information that she was "retired" when she bought two tickets to a Bruce Springsteen anti-Bush concert last fall.
"We would not have filled something in," said an official of America Coming Together, noting that each ticket buyer was asked to list employer and job for federal election reports because it was a political event.
The $372 ticket purchase is the first revelation that Plame participated in anti-Bush activity while working for the CIA. Her husband, former diplomat Joseph Wilson, told Time.com that she "doesn't recall listing herself as retired."
Plame - who was still a CIA staffer but on a leave of absence last fall - used Ticketmaster to buy the two tickets in her married name of Valerie Wilson, the ACT official said.
Plame's anti-Bush ticket purchases raised eyebrows among Republicans.
"Valerie Plame has the right to support anyone she wants, but she and her husband can't continue to pose as nonpartisan, public-spirited citizens," said Rep. Peter King (R-L.I.). |
