A neighbors view of Valerie Wilsons outing
Joe and Valerie Wilson are my next door neighbors in a hilly neighborhood just west of Georgetown. We moved in within months of each other seven years ago, attracted to our respective houses by the view of the Capitol in the distance and the Washington Monument in the foreground. The patriotic view is stirring.
I have another view from my window, of a neighbor who is a working, devoted mother of 5-year-old twins, a volunteer for charities, a woman active in her church, and a caring person. Soft-spoken, self-effacing and very private, Valerie is very easy to label "the lovely woman next door."
To some, I am known as Joe and Valeries lawyer, a fact that has surfaced by my occasional statements on their behalf. The Wilsons dont need a lawyer for any pending proceeding; I am simply helping them understand some of the technicalities of the criminal investigation and collecting facts for any eventual civil suit. Before Robert Novaks column, I was simply their friend and neighbor, a role that will continue long after the White House leak matter is over.

His lawyer is his next door neighbor?
Wilson couldn't get any other lawyer to help him?
I don't understand the connection....why is he involved?

That pretty sums it up, huh?
It's spin baby... it's whoever gets ahead with the PR offensive. Wilson's probably upset that someone in the beltway suggested that he had to depend on his wife to get a job. It's coming from the publicist, trust me.
Does this refer to the WP's suit against Jim and FR where the post also won a summary judgement?
Maybe it was this guy who hooked Wilson up with Chris Lehane and the Kerry campaign.
I have no idea
Possibly. But don't forget that Wilson worked in the Congressional offices of both Al Gore and Tom Foley in 1985-1986.
He knows his way around enough without anybody's help, I suspect.
Thanks, Sam.
That shows the connection and relationship. It ain't just being a neighbor.
Our hero.
I just knew he was gay ...

"Does this refer to the WP's suit against Jim and FR where the post also won a summary judgement?"
No. In a way it's the other way around. The WP was sued by someone else for copyright infringement:
"In an early Internet-related case, Proskauer -- with Chris serving as lead counsel -- obtained summary judgment on behalf of The Washington Post and two of its reporters in a federal lawsuit brought by the Religious Technology Center alleging copyright infringement and theft of trade secrets and involving important First Amendment issues."
