Is this info accurate about Plame's covert status?

I've heard (forget where) that her cover was as an executive for some type of global communications company. Also, other covert agents used this company as a cover for their operations. When she was outed, not only did it affect her, but any agent who had previously used or was using this company as a cover. Is this accurate? And if so, why is it not being rammed down the MSM's throat????

Yes, that's largely accurate.

Not everyone who used the company as cover may neccessarily have been revealed, but most of them are probably compromised to one degree or another--having been associated with a CIA front company, they'll probably be on intelligence watch lists until they jump to a new identity. Not to mention the retroactive damage that's done: because now foreign intel agencies know that employees of this company were potentially spies, they can go back and look over past events and possibly learn new things, break some people's cover, and compromise certain operations.
