Fair Game: How a Top Spy Was Betrayed by Her Own GovernmentOn July 6, 2003, four months after the United States invaded Iraq, former ambassador Joseph Wilson's now historic op ed, What I Didn't Find in Africa, appeared in The New York Times.

On July 6, 2003, four months after the United States invaded Iraq, former ambassador Joseph Wilson's now historic op-ed, What I Didn't Find in Africa, appeared in The New York Times. A week later, conservative pundit Robert Novak revealed in his newspaper column that Ambassador Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame Wilson, was a CIA operative. The public disclosure of that secret information spurred a federal investigation and led to the trial and conviction of Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Scooter Libby, and the Wilsons' civil suit against top officials of the Bush administration. Much has been written about the Valerie Plame story, but Valerie herself has been silent, until now. Some of what has been reported about her has been frighteningly accurate, serving as a pungent reminder to the Wilsons that their lives are no longer private. And some has been completely false -- distorted characterizations of Valerie and her husband and their shared integrity.

Valerie Wilson retired from the CIA in January 2006, and now, not only as a citizen but as a wife and mother, the daughter of an Air Force colonel, and the sister of a U.S. marine, she sets the record straight, providing an extraordinary account of her training and experiences, and answers many questions that have been asked about her covert status, her responsibilities, and her life. As readers will see, the CIA still deems much of the detail of Valerie's story to be classified. As a service to readers, an afterword by national security reporter Laura Rozen provides a context for Valerie's own story.

Fair Game is the historic and unvarnished account of the personal and international consequences of speaking truth to power.

Works really well and it actually holds a lot

Great product I love that you can put it extended open or or not depending on the width of your silverware drawer on your kitchen or you can use it for tools. You can use it for nuts and bolts. You can use it for I don’t know paintbrushes if you want to. I don’t know if you really want to. I have one in my kitchen and I have one in my living room in my bedroom just to put pens and stuff like that in them. If you have a wide silverware cabinet drawers, you can extend it a lot more than what you see in my picture, but I was able to extend it way more than what was there before and I really like how it is.

Exactly as expected

This expandable silverware organizer made such a difference in my kitchen drawers. It sounds dramatic for a utensil organizer, but it genuinely made everything feel cleaner, more organized, and less chaotic. I love that it expands because it made it super easy to customize to my drawer size instead of awkwardly leaving unused space. The compartments are roomy enough to hold a lot without everything getting jumbled together, and I like that there are enough sections for silverware plus extra kitchen tools and gadgets. It helped me finally give everything a designated place, which is especially satisfying when setting up a new kitchen. Even though it’s plastic, it doesn’t feel flimsy or cheap. It feels sturdy once in the drawer, slides open smoothly, and has held up really well with daily use. I also appreciate that it’s lightweight and easy to wipe clean if crumbs or dust get inside. Overall, this is one of those simple organizational purchases that makes everyday life easier. My kitchen drawers look so much more put together now, and it’s nice not having to dig through clutter every time I need a fork or cooking utensil. Definitely worth it for anyone trying to organize their kitchen without spending a ton.
