Joe Wilson: Wife Divulged CIA Secret on Fourth Date

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."

---So it was just a political ploy to harm Bush---

Yup!

[The Scourge of Yazid]

God, this guy's a tool! I'm just waiting for the official biopic of his life story to be released nationwide starting next summer. By the way, what nimrod divulges this type of information on a nationally syndicated radio program; even if it is already part of the public record?

[river rat]

Every time that pompous, self important "dipsy diplomat" Wilson speaks --- he shows his ass and frightens the hell out of me that he once held an important office in the State Department....

We were served by morons and misfits....

By the way.....is his wife a female?

Semper Fi

"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"

"Oh Joe, oh oh oh. Yesss, right there, yes, yes yes! Just a little more Joe, Ohhhhhhhhhhh mygod. Yesssss, Yessss, Yessssssssss, I'm in the CIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA."

[visualops]

Exactly. My Dad did top secret work in the Pentagon and his work was never discussed in any way shape or form. The Pentagon CounterIntelligence Agency checks out everyone, they even did a check on my first husband when I got married.
The notion that one has some sort of discretion to divulge top secret info/identities in a personal relationship is such a pile of crap.

[CyberAnt]

And a blabbermouth!!

[FourtySeven]

< sigh > Oh good Lord. Why are we still worrying about Ambassador Wilson again? Can anyone tell me that please? Oh, that's right, because the media loves anything anti Bush.

[devolve]

Carl, you left out the best part


AMB ASSADOR Joe Wilson would not answer any of Steve's questions...

Either "I cannot talk about that" speeches or "Read my book, it's all in there!"

Then slippery Joe started to tie in the "Irag prison scamdal" and link it to Viet Nam.

Asked by Steve about working for John Kerry's campaign Wilson said "I'm not working for John Kerry's campaign, I'm just traveling the US making speeches to help him become President!"

Finally Steve Malzberg brought up John Kerry's 1971 taped confessions that Kerry himself had "committed atrocities in Viet Nam....."

Joe Wilson said "No, John Kerry was only speaking of general battlefield conditions in Viet Nam!"

Steve's quick answer:

"Read his book!"

This jerk Wilson and his "secret agent" wife are a testimony to the corrupt and debased nitwits that populate our state department and CIA. The two worst jokes of 2004.

[dts32041]

I have seen this in a movie True lies, I think or was it the revenge of the nerds.

[Sacajaweau]

What's up Wilson? No one giving you free trips to Niger to check on your gold investments.

I'll bet that the next day, he told his best buddy.

[gunnedah]

Wonder how many before him she revealed this to in the heat of passion. She probably shouldn't have had a security clearance if she was that easy to spill the information.
Wonder if she may have been an intern at one time or the other.

Diplomat at Eye of Storm (Joseph Wilson)

He also supports efforts by the antiwar organization Moveon.org to put conditions on spending in Iraq by the Bush administration -- among them, the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and others.

The notion that one has some sort of discretion to divulge top secret info/identities in a personal relationship is such a pile of crap.

All the time my husband was in the Navy, I rarely had anything but a vague idea of where he was traveling. And aboard the boat, I learned to stop asking, "What's that?" because I rarely got an answer.

[THX 1138]

This guy just can't keep his mouth shut. He has to tell everything to everybody.

[wagglebee]

I really would like to know how she would have held up under enemy interrogation.

"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?"

"Which I then followed-up with, that's nice. How do I get this unhooked?"

[T'wit]

The worst time to blow your cover is in the heat of passion. I wonder if Wilson got there first -- talk about a premature ejaculation! "Oh, baby, baby, I have to tell you, unnnnh, unnnnHHHH, I'm an agent for the KGB AIEEEYEEESSSSSS!"

[solitas]

Sounds like she's 'easy'.

I dunno - didn't Sydney Bristow tell Danny in episode 1 and then Spy Daddy had to kill him before the end of the show? (yeah - SOME of you out there know what I'm talking about) :D

[traumer]

"a heavy make out session"
:o)

Blame Bush anyway...
