Sony. The Internal Revenue Service. Ashley Madison. Cyber warfare has gone nuclear.

So says Valerie Plame, the former covert CIA agent who spent her intelligence career working against the spread of weapons of mass destruction. Now she’s taking on a new task: helping government agencies and companies stem the relentless flood of hacker attacks.
..................

Not that she’s abandoned her interest in nuclear weapons. Plame, who works with disarmament non-profits Global Zero and Plowshares Fund, endorsed the recent Iran nuclear deal--and had harsh words for some of its critics, Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker in particular.

“I am fully supportive of [the Iran deal]. I believe it is a good deal--it’s not perfect, but by its very nature, an agreement is going to be a compromise,” she says. “The options are war versus peace, and I am delighted that so far it appears that peaceful negotiation has won the day.”

The deal’s critics include Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, many Senate Republicans, and Wisconsin governor Walker, who recently said he would reverse the deal “on day one” if he becomes president. Plame singled out that comment for particular scorn.

“What does Scott Walker know about nuclear policy? There is strong bipartisan consensus among nuclear policy experts that this is a good deal so... eyeroll,” she says. “Those who have been seriously arguing against it, critical of it, they have nothing better to offer in its place, except war.”

Walker’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment............
