Did Valerie Plame Wilson Tell the Truth?
NRO ^ | 5/25/2007 | Byron York

When Valerie Plame Wilson swore that she did not recommend or suggest her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, for a fact-finding trip to Niger in 2002, Sen. Christopher Bond took note. Wilson’s words, given in testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, didn’t jibe with what Bond’s investigators had learned a few years earlier when they looked into the CIA leak matter. Now, we know why Bond was suspicious.

(last paragraph)

Taken in sum, the evidence in Bond’s additional views seems to definitively lay to rest the question of who suggested Joseph Wilson for the trip to Niger. But it doesn’t lay to rest questions about Valerie Plame Wilson’s varying accounts of the matter. “Mrs. Wilson told the CIA inspector general that she suggested her husband for the trip, she told our committee staff that she could not remember whether she did or her boss did, and told the House committee, emphatically, that she did not suggest him,” Bond writes.

Depends on what the definition of “truth” is

Doesn’t matter with that candy-arsed “oath” they gave her. Alberto should have been so lucky. If I am ever called to testify, I will demand “the Plame Oath”.

I missed that. Was the oath out of the ordinary?

See Democrats Alter Oath For Witnesses: Leaves Out God (Does not look like Plame testified under oath)

"Do you promise to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?" Not swear, promise. Would a lie under a promise constitute perjury? Arguably not. Why did Waxman administer a non-standard oath? Why? Why?

Maybe she’s on a good start towards making hillary’s years of treason all for nothing, shot right in the ass, blown all to hell.

Anyone who would DARE question St. Valerie is obviously an evil rich/white/male/neo-con! and (it goes without say) should be shot.
Don’t you know she was a super duper tippy top secret agent

Regardless of the issue of lying (I believe she was lying), this issue proves to me that Valerie Plame Wilson is an incompetent manager. She writes with incomplete sentences, inconclusive matching of subjects and verbs, and excessive use of acronyms. She is clearly not management material.

Trick question, right?

I think she's a lot less truthy than Scooter.
