I think Joe was just making some retroactive opinion he learned from elsewhere...then started to talk as if he independently knew this. Upon reflection, I suspect you're right. Ol' Joe has a serious case of the bigmouth knowitalls and becoming a "celebrity" only exacerbated the symptoms.
Still, I have no doubt that Ms. Secret Agent wasn't sharing sensitive classified information with Mr. Ambassador. Especially when it came to what the CIA didn't know about the intelligence the Brits wouldn't share...

Absolutely. He sounded like her, citing the appropriate arcane laws.

I haven't read the whole report
But has anyone from the committee asked or addressed as to why Valarie Plume would suggest sending her husband ... a man who has no experience in CIA investigations?

Wonder if Hannity, or perhaps even O'Reilly (eyes rolling here), could be persuaded to air this on Fox news. For that matter, Joe Scarboro on MSNBC might also be a likely candidate. --Love Scarboro, but he too often lets his guests get away with voicing the dems lying talking points without challenge.

Reality is vindicating Bush more and more each day. Yeah, but it is only reaching the choir.

Senator Roberts did a horrible job representing the republicans and defending the President on TV. He was a disgrace.

Isn't it funny how Wilson *knew* they were fakes without seeing them? Follow those "French contacts" that Wilson's wife said he had and we're liable to find out who planted the forgery.

A definite possibility. France had MOM alright.
Method = They've done every other sneaky underhanded thing they could to stop/impede the war
Opportunity = France is very close to Niger, especially French Intelligence. It is wholly within their ability to create a seemy persuasive fake that will immidately fall apart once made public. Also, French Intelligence knew that Hussein had irrespective of the fake tried to buy uranium in Niger.
Motive = The list here is almost endless. Bribes to French countries. Close personal relationship between Chirac and Hussein. Political advantages of weakening the US for France. Semilegitimate business ties to Iraq. Etc Etc Etc.

And a man close to the opposition party and the government of Saudi Arabia who was very publicly antiwar.

France is very close to Niger, especially French Intelligence. I checked out the CIA World Fact Book. France is not only the biggest trading partner with Niger, but several thousand French live in the country and basically run the economy. With world uranium sales down, there was definately incentive to sell yellowcake regardless of the buyer.

The Democrats are counting on Media allies to ignore this "smoking gun" memo.
And I'm sure they will get their wish.
