Joe Wilson: Wife Divulged CIA Secret on Fourth Date
NewsMax ^ | 5/9/04 | Carl Limbacher

Bush administration Uraniumgate accuser Joe Wilson defended his wife Valerie Plame on Sunday for blowing her CIA cover during what he described as "a heavy make out session" shortly after the couple first met in the 1990s.

"Well, I had all the requisite security clearances and, in fact, there is some personal discretion that is allowed when you are in personal relationships," Wilson told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg.

Malzberg had asked about Wilson's admission to Vanity Fair in January that his wife revealed her CIA indentity in a moment of heated passion on their third or fourth date:

The magazine reported:

"Meeting in Paris, London and Brussels, [the relationship between Plame and Wilson] got very serious, very quickly. On the third or fourth date, he says, they were in the middle of a 'heavy make-out' session when she said she had something to tell him."

At that point Wilson told VF that his undercover enamorata interrupted their tryst and came clean.

"She was, she explained, undercover in the CIA," VF said. Wilson told the magazine that the revelation "did nothing to dampen my ardour. My only question was: Is your name really Valerie?"

The Bush accuser, whose new book "The Politics of Truth" details his outrage over having his wife outed by the White House, was less forthcoming about a report claiming that as early as 1994 her cover had been blown, forcing the CIA to return her to the U.S.

"I won't talk about anything related to her career, other than to point out to you that the CIA tells Justice Department investigators that she's covered by the Intelligence Identities Protection Act," Wilson told Malzberg.

In October, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof reported: "The C.I.A. suspected that [master spy] Aldrich Ames had given Mrs. Wilson's name [along with those of other spies] to the Russians before his espionage arrest in 1994."

At the time, Kristof noted, Wilson's wife was brought home for safety reasons and "was already in transition away from undercover work to management."

Actually, ratting on an agent makes no sense for the Bush camp..... somebody else did it.

Well heck, maybe Valerie told the person who leaked the info during a heavy make out session with him. Who says there had to be only one "personal relationship".

My oldest daughter has a top secret security clearance, and even if I had one, unless I was working in her department, she is not allowed to tell me anything about her work. "Need to know" only.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, especially if her supposed cover was that important.

What a coincidence, I also told all the (sl)easy women I dated (in my bachelor days) that I was a secret agent.

Not that it was true, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn once!

Seems that Miss Valerie wasn't exactly the upstanding, dedicated agent the Left purported her to be.

Looks like he doesn't have much respect for his wife's reputation does he? I know I wouldn't want my husband to blab that to the world.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "she blew her cover."

"" 'Well, I had all the requisite security clearances and, in fact, there is some personal discretion that is allowed when you are in personal relationships' Wilson told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg."

Utter BS.

Maureen Dowd let this little tidbit slip out in one of her columns a few months ago and I was surprised no one picked up on it. I sent an email to Boortz about it hoping he would bring it up on his show but he never did.

I was cleared for Secret in my time in the military and anyone who has been granted a security clearance knows that classified information is given out on a NEED TO KNOW basis only. It doesn't matter how high the clearance of the recipient is. This was a clear compromise of security. There is NO leeway given to persons because of their "relationship". She violated federal law by outing herself.

There is?? I can see how one might think that media folks are all ninnies, but does Wilson actually think that the public will digest that one?
