See that post; do you all think Wilson had security clearance when he went to Niger -- or when he wrote that "What I Didn't Find in Africa?" Think he had it vetted before it went to press?

I'm betting he didn't have security clearance

He also didn't write up a report when he came back ..

So who wrote up report and who ok'd this trip?

Victoria Toensing was asking about Wilson's confidentiality agreement with the CIA this morning on Fox & Friends. She didn't seem to think that he was supposed to write anything about his trip if CIA followed protocol. She said that she had to sign a confidentiality agreement whenever she had any dealings with CIA. It sounds like CIA is as dirty as Wilson and Plame.

He may have had a current clearance from working with Clinton's staff, But I feel that security procedures were broken here. Like I said in the other posts...Wilson was sent to verify reports gleaned from HUMINT. Any HUMINT information would be compartmentalized in a Special Access Program. Security within these programs have special requirements to keep the sources protected. Any person having access or working within those programs would have a special clearance upgrade and be "read in". The "read in" is where the special handling requirements are briefed and the non disclosure form would be signed by the individual being granted access to the information. When the need to know is over, the individual would be "read out" of the program. Once again the disclosure requirements would be briefedand the individual would sign paperwork agreeing to protect the information.

From the sounds of it he was never "Read in"...and the law was broken.

Wilson has often said he did not sign a confidentiality agreement.
