Curiouser and Curiouser

Drudge has this particular flash up this morning where Joe Wilson makes the claim that threats are being made against his wife. That, in and of itself, is curious as I would think it more likely that it would be Wilson himself that people would threaten. The more curious item was the last statement in the flash:

"Wilson tells Bradley, contrary to reports that many knew Plame was in the CIA, that only he and three other people knew. 'Well, very few people outside the intelligence community [knew she was CIA]. Her parents and her brother, essentially,' says Wilson."

So exactly what level of security clearance did her parents and brother have? Did she 'out' herself to her family? Might they not brag, as many parents do, about having such an important daughter/sister married to such an important man?

Then there is this.
