Randi Rhodes has been saying this for years

But the outing of Valerie Plame was also to take out her CIA company Brewster Jennings. Via Morse at Mock Paper Scissors:

According to U.S. intelligence sources, the White House exposure of Valerie Plame and her Brewster Jennings & Associates was intended to retaliate against the CIA’s work in limiting the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. WMR has reported in the past on this aspect of the scandal. In addition to identifying the involvement of individuals in the White House who were close to key players in nuclear proliferation, the CIA Counter-Proliferation Division prevented the shipment of binary VX nerve gas from Turkey into Iraq in November 2002. The Brewster Jennings network in Turkey was able to intercept this shipment which was intended to be hidden in Iraq and later used as evidence that Saddam Hussein was in possession of weapons of mass destruction. U.S. intelligence sources revealed that this was a major reason the Bush White House targeted Plame and her network.

What dead fish?

Besides, it gives them that nice spicy flavor!

"DOVER, Delaware - DuPont Co. said Friday that it will not participate in the U.S. Army's plan to dispose of wastewater from the destruction of the deadly nerve agent VX.

The company had been working with the Army since 2003 on a plan to ship wastewater from neutralized VX nerve agent from a chemical weapons depot in Indiana to Deepwater, N.J., to be treated at DuPont's Chamber Works facility and then dumped in the Delaware River.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had signed off on the idea, but environmentalists had fought it, and regulatory approval by New Jersey officials was uncertain, said Nick Fanandakis, DuPont vice president and general manager for chemical solutions."

"Company officials said the economic return for DuPont would have been negligible. DuPont spokesman Anthony Farina said DuPont's relationship with New Jersey officials outweighed any benefit DuPont might have gained from disposing of the VX wastewater.

Gov. Jon Corzine on Friday thanked DuPont, saying "common sense has prevailed."

"This is a decisive victory for the people of New Jersey," Corzine said in a statement. "VX nerve agent is one of the world's most deadly chemical compounds and dumping it in a river never made any sense."" (my bold)

Ah, well then. They weren't going to make any money. Now it makes sense.
