Wilson later was stationed in Iraq. He recounts that on the eve of Saddam’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait he and Jacqueline dined with “Saddam’s principal arms buyer in Paris...” (Not something I would be talking about...)

Could minor Ambassador Joe Wilson himself have been the source in blowing his own Wife's cover?
It is distinctly possible, (though it may be unlikely that Joe Wilson himself directly was NY Times Judith Miller's source), since Joe Wilson himself evidently routinely bragged openly to strangers about her CIA employment, prior to such "cover" being "blown" in the press.
Here's an example of Joe's apparently routine and open bragging about Valerie being a "CIA agent," which became known directly to me over a year ago:
He certainly bragged about it per a famous and highly reliable source's (named below) account of his own face-to-face encounter with Amb. Joe Wilson prior to Valerie Plame's "outing" as a CIA agent/employee.
Based upon a personal conversation (we were in a small group eating; it was NOT an "off the record") I had with eminent historian Victor Davis Hanson (we were at a luncheon table together during a trip to Europe), it appeared entirely possible that Joe Wilson himself was the (or one source, if not the original one) possible source in revealing his own wife's status as a CIA agent or employee.
Victor Davis Hanson (Wilson presumably knew Victor Davis Hanson wrote regularly for NRO (National Review Online), had done OpEds for the Wall street Journal, and other publications, and had his own Website with a widespread following) said he (VDH) & Joe Wilson were both in the same "Green Room" before a televised debate-discussion on Iraq, etc. and Joe first warned the TV make-up person not to get powder on his $14,000 Rolex watch, then he bragged to Victor about several things (possessions and trips to Aspen, etc.), like his expensive car (I think it was a Mercedes), and then bragged about his beautiful ("hot") wife who, Joe Wilson said (braggingly) was a CIA operative.
I asked Victor Davis Hanson Why he didn't write up this account.(?) He replied that Joe Wilson would probably simply deny it, since only he (VDH) & Joe Wilson were in the Green Room together before the broadcast.
However, it is now easy to surmise that Joe Wilson is a crass, materialistic, self-promoting, vain, egotistical, bragaddocio-opportunist, so this account is perfectly consistent with Valerie Plame's TWO photo shoots in Vanity Fair.
Importantly, perhaps, and inferentially corroborative of the above account is the fact that David Corn in the Nation did an article on Valerie Plame's identity evidently (& reportedly) a day after he met with Joe Wilson.
Yes
It is extremely unlikely that the reporter still in jail for contempt is protecting a member of the administration.
That leaves Joe.
I think you're quite perceptive & correct. Thanks!
Yes. Or as Jack Kelly and others have suggested (David Horowitz) Valerie Plame could have been the source of Miller's WMD stories. IF she had an agenda. Does this mean Plame herself could be a target of the GJ?Indpe, Prosecutor? One might hope as much if she was a source herself and thereofre violative of CIA's Secrecy, potentially compromising other CIA agents actually in the field, etc.
One thing that is never mentioned in all of the coverage of the fat lying sow [Joe Wilson] is the question where the fat lying sow got the money to purchase [a] ambassadorial slots in West African pestholes, [b] entre with the Arkie white trash Klintonoids and [c] Rolex watches. Inquiring minds, etc., etc.
Interesting hypothesis or question:
Follow the money?
(Was he independently rich or was Valerie or was he jsut a "frugal" professional FSO, who could afford Rolexes, fancy cars and vacations, his reportedly self-described "hot wife", etc.,
--- or was he a political appointee as Amb.?
(I, for one, don't claim to know.)
Does a bear...?
What is the connexion, if any, 'twixt purported CIA consultant "Terrance Wilkinson" and Wilson=Plame???
Yes, a Bear does that.... and the Pope used to be Polish.
Re: << Inquiring Minds Want to Know! >>:
Your question:
"What is the connexion, if any, 'twixt purported CIA consultant "Terrance Wilkinson" and Wilson=Plame???"
I defer to you: Intriguing question for which you have more info than I, my friend.
Someone else asked this question the othe day in a different form.
Please illuminate! Help us on this.
Thanks!
Brilliant humor, satire and cartoon.
Mega-kudos & Thanks!
I loved the part also about "later", "Paris," and "dining with Saddam's principal arms buyer."
P.S. Thans for the LINK:
Wilson later was stationed in Iraq. He recounts that on the eve of Saddam’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait he and Jacqueline dined with “Saddam’s principal arms buyer in Paris...” (Not something I would be talking about...)
and for the: "Its like we totally made it up; We're cartoon Characters"
I am waiting for Wilson to confess..the only thing of interest he could possibly say in my opinion.
Plame-gate Media Ping!
CIA-Liberal Media Ping, Heads up!
I presume you & I are correct: Re:
"How much longer are the DUmmies going to drag this dog-and-pony show to the press?"
"Don't they realize, that they are setting themselves for ANOTHER huge humiliation, like Rathergate?
Well put!
