Some Things You Didn’t Know About Valerie Plame
Christopher Goffard of the St. Petersburg Times did some digging about the most famous CIA employee in the U.S.
Outed CIA spy 
She married and soon divorced her college boyfriend.
As a new recruit at the Farm, the CIA’s training facility, her skill with an AK-47 stunned classmates.
She speaks French, Greek and German.
With the CIA, she had nonofficial cover, or NOC, status and used a fake job title, meaning she lacked diplomatic protection if exposed overseas. Said to be the agency’s creme de la creme, NOCs reportedly handle and recruit foreign agents.
She lied even to close friends and family about what she did.
In February 1997, she met diplomat Joseph Wilson, who was soon to be divorced, at the Washington, D.C., home of the Turkish ambassador, where she reminded Wilson of a young Grace Kelly and left him “hopelessly smitten.”
She told him she was an energy consultant in Brussels. “Ladies don’t date married men,” Plame told him when he tried to hold her hand.
She drives a Prius hybrid, believing it socially responsible.
She told her next-door neighbor, Victoria Tillotson, she was an economic consultant to foreign countries. When Mrs. Tillotson leaves town, she entrusts Plame with her pets, house key and alarm code, and has no fear Plame will misplace them.
In seven years as a neighbor, Plame has never knocked on the door to borrow sugar.
She keeps her house intimidatingly neat. Even the walls are mind-bogglingly clean.
She worried whether she’d make a good mother.
She doesn’t hold grudges, except for maybe against columnist Robert Novak & Co.
When Novak outed her as a spy in July 2003, she worried whether she would have any friends left now that they knew she’d been lying to them for years.
She attends the same church, but not the same service, as Republican mastermind Karl Rove. Once exposed, she took greater care with her hair and lip gloss, knowing everyone would be staring.
Valerie Plame is her real name. She wishes you hadn’t heard of her.
