Well, I'm guessing the ultimate who is this guy;
But as for the person immediately responsible, unless Wilson changes his story that he doesn't know who sent him, we will never get proof. However, I still think Plame persuaded her superior. It makes sense seeing as this was his baliwick anyway.
And we all know the reason why...
However, I still think Plame persuaded her superior. It makes sense seeing as this was his baliwick anyway. I agree. Alan Foley's decision, based on Plame's recommendation.
One wonders whether Joseph C. Wilson IV and Miss Valerie might have conceived the trip between them prior to Plame even approaching Foley.
But we know, of course, that covert CIA-types don't indulge in such pillow talk. It would be so, so, so, er, ah..."unprofessional".
