Now that you mention it, a friend of a friend is a lawyer at the CIA. She's the exception. Otherwise, I know (directly and indirectly) of perhaps 8-10 people who work(ed) there. They simply can't say what they did (nor would I press them). I have one or two friends who I suspect work there now, but its hard not to suspect anyone who says they are in the State department... as it seems like the most likely cover for all kinds of people.
The broader point though is that the public perception of this is not going to be good, even if she was a non-covert employee. And this is simply something I'd rather Rove not have done. He could have couched it in different (very different) terms, without ever mentioning this. But I'm dying to hear what he actually has to say about it directly, rather than through his attorney (who makes statements that are open to misinterpretation... or possibly accurate interpretation that reflects poorly on the speaker).

I've had to fill out background forms for two friends who applied /were recruited for analyst positions at the CIA. I presume I would have known if they got in, though I guess I don't really know what they're doing now so maybe.
I suspect one friend has been working for an intelligence service for a long time, but I'd never ask. He's one of the smartest people I've ever known, so I hope so.
My best friend used to live around the corner from Langley. She highly, highly recommends not accidently turning into their driveway. It takes awhile to get out of there, even if you go in by mistake.
