Plame's (Naomi Watts) status as a CIA agent was revealed by White House officials allegedly out to discredit her husband (Sean Penn) after he wrote a 2003 New York Times op-ed piece saying that the Bush administration had manipulated intelligence about weapons of mass destruction to justify the invasion of Iraq.
