It turns out there is a connection between Wilson/Plame and the old Watergate. It is reported on http://www.eyeball-series.org/plame-eyeball.htm (From http://reunite.myfamily.com ) that Valerie's address was: VALERIE PLAME - 2700 VA AVE NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20090 UNLISTED [Watergate Complex 2700 Virginia Avenue NW Washington, DC 20037]

He had - as Plame said - "extensive contacts in France" and wouldn't you know, Plame also lived in France for a time.

It would not surprise me in the least if Plame is a spy for the French - - I mean a real, live spy.
Hey! That would make her "covert", wouldn't it?

Anyways, look at the name "Valerie Plame" - - is that not a French-sounding name? And take a close look at her face (scroll down, on the right). She sure looks French to me.

From From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Criticism of Wilson

Wilson was criticized recently for allegedly talking about his wife's CIA job prior to the column by Novak. Retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely claimed on the John Batchelor radio show that Wilson had spoken to him about his wife's role with the CIA while they were waiting together in the green room before appearing together on FOX News. He said this occurred on three to five occasions, first in February or March of 2002. Vallely also said Wilson was proud to routinely introduce his wife as a CIA employee at cocktail parties per a tabloid source.[11]

Wilson has since demanded that Vallely retract these allegations, calling them "patently false." Wilson wrote to his attorney in an email included in his demand for a retraction: "This is slanderous. I never appeared on TV before at least July 2002 and only saw him maybe twice in the green room at FOX. Vallely is a retired general and this is a bald faced lie.... I never laid eyes on [Vallely] till several months after he alleges I spoke to him about my wife."[12]

In addition, on November 7, 2005 Lt. General Tom McInerney (USAF Retired) confirms that Joe Wilson also bragged to him about his wife's job with the CIA while waiting in the green room at FOX News. [13]

I have no idea about the veracity or accuracy of this, but it is fascinating:

Linda Minor: Scooter Libby’s Client, Marc Rich

Part 2: Scooter Libby’s Client, Marc Rich
By Linda Minor
October 28, 2005
See Original Version With Illustrations Here: http://www.sandersresearch.com/Sanders/NewsManager/ShowNewsGen.aspx?NewsID=1102

 

“The man attacking my integrity and reputation – and, I believe, quite possibly the person who exposed my wife’s identity – was the same Scooter Libby who, before he came into the new administration, was one of the principal attorneys for Marc Rich, ex-fugitive. Rich is the commodities trader who was convicted of having traded petroleum with Iran in violation of sanctions imposed on that country by the United States after the seizure of the American Embassy in Tehran and the taking of more than a hundred American hostages by supporters of Ayatollah Khomeini.”
- Ambassador Joseph Wilson IV, The Cult That’s Running the Country”

<snip>As only one of a myriad of Rich’s attorneys, Libby, nevertheless, worked for the metal and oil trader for a period of eighteen years. Understanding Marc Rich is essential in understanding Scooter Libby and the financial network which invaded Iraq.

Strategic Metals

Craig Copetas, Marc Rich’s biographer, labels his subject one of the “Metal Men,”[1] and attempts to trace Rich’s mysterious background. The Belgian Reich family fled Europe during World War II, assisted by a Jewish placement agency, and changed their surname to Rich. Marc’s father, David Rich, seems to have engaged in an assortment of secretive businesses...

<snip> Rich’s reward was a posting to the Philipp Brothers office in Madrid as manager in 1967. He used this outpost as a base through West Africa and the Middle East (emphasis mine), and he gained contacts through his seat on the European management committee in Zug, Switzerland.

<snip>Both Dillon, Read and Lazard Freres, as well as being favored investment arms of Rockefeller corporations and banks, were also heavily involved in investments in the State of Texas, whose favorite son (Lyndon Johnson) had been in control of the Presidency since November 22, 1963.

<snip>It was this war profiteering which first brought Samuel Bush (George H.W. Bush’s grandfather) into government operations—as explored in “Money and Gunpowder, Part Two—A Place for Cannons”.[6]

<snip>The strategic value of other metals was discussed in “Who “Created” Condi Rice?” These two articles are part of an ongoing project by this author to describe the historical trail that has been taking America and the rest of the world into a new world order—a centralized order where local control no longer exists. Implicit in this new world order is the recognition of one absolute truism:

Power comes from controlling vital and strategic commodities. The countries which are the sources of those commodities must, therefore, be dominated and not allowed to exercise any form of independence or nationalism.

<snip>Scooter Libby fits that same mold, and he is working for the same people. Further research may reveal who hides behind that curtain.
