Vallely: Wilson told me 'my wife is CIA' in 2002 [my title]

Paul Vallely, on air last night on the John Batchelor show, said he met Joe Wilson in 2002 in the "green room" of a cable network's studio.

Both Vallely and Wilson were waiting to go on air. Wilson, at that time, was packaging himself as an expert on Iraq.

Vallely said that since he and Wilson found they had some acquaintances in common, they began talking. In the course of the conversation, Wilson told Vallely that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA.

This conversation, Vallely said, took place in 2002, several months before Plame's alleged "outing" at the hands of Karl Rove and Scooter Libby, via Robert Novak's column published July 14, 2003.

thanks for the Valley info. The fair and balanced pressers have their job cut out for them if there's any hope of this info making it into the MSM.

Interesting. Andrea Mitchell said on air that "everyone in D.C. knew" and Judge Napolitano of FNC said that Wilson introduced his wife at parties as "my CIA agent wife". This was before the alleged "outing".
