Incomplete, for one, that it failed to mention his advisory role in the Kerry campaign. Even if irrelevant to his claims, it's relevant to his background story, which made the omission quite glaring.
For me the most interesting parts were those given short shrift.
It reminded me of the Ed Bradley interview with Jackson...his purpose wasn't to hang him, but some interesting nuggets for further inquiry came up. Same with the Vanity Fair article, and VF was trying more than Bradley to appease its subject.
The parts I'm speaking about were those about his business. There was a brief mention that Wilson had solicited a gold mining license in Niger on behalf of a private party. Soooo, was he soliciting this deal from the Niger govt at the same time he was exonerating the Niger govt. from UN sanctions busting conduct? Indeed, is that why he was going to Niger in the first place? And further, he has several business dealings, or attempts at, in that region of Africa.
Other interesting bits were his connection to Rock Creek Corp. and Saudis - two other issues he dodged, or weren't put directly to him.
Then there's his second wife of several years...hard to tell by the article, but she might have been part of the French diplomatic corps.
He's an interesting character, for sure.
Something else the VF story left out -- and which the mainstream media has consistently failed to mention -- Plame's boss quit the agency. Hastily and with little notice. In August, just a month after the phit hit the shan.
Wanted to "spend more time with the family"...
