I really can't fault Plame for trying to get her hubby a cushy assignment---but they're making it like she had some big ol' secret position at the CIA....as if she were a 007.

Not to mention she DEFINITELY had an opinion before hand. This taken from the SIC report:

The former ambassador's wife told Committee staff that when CPD decided it would like to send the former ambassador to Niger, she approached her husband on behalf of the CIA and told him "there's this crazy report" on a purported deal for Niger to sell uranium to Iraq.
