What if he is looking at something else.
Like an illegal operation by two DNC Operatives Plame/Wilson to bring about an electronic coup against our president. An illegal operation funded by Plame's Boss, Foley, who suddenly retired when this started to hit the fan.
Thanks for the heads up. I wondered about the date because the Yahoo search showed 2004.
Joe Wilson, you have had more than your 15 minutes of fame. Get off the stage!
Spouse of outed CIA officer signs on with Kerry By Joseph Curl
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Saturday February 14, 2004; Front Page
"In May 2003, after his mission to Niger but before his July 6, 2003, Times op-ed piece, Mr. Wilson began working for Mr. Kerry as an unpaid adviser, offering foreign policy advice and speechwriting tips.
Mr. Wilson originally said reporters told him that White House political adviser Karl Rove told them his wife was "fair game," a statement he later retracted. In September, Mr. Kerry who is making prewar intelligence a prime campaign issue said the disclosure of Mrs. Plame's name '...is more than another example of politics driving the Bush administration. ... A special counsel should be appointed immediately so that we can find out how George Bush let this happen and hold those responsible accountable.'"
---snip---
Mr. Wilson endorsed Mr. Kerry last fall, when the senator's campaign was flagging, but has recently made campaign appearances for him in Iowa, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, Massachusetts and Washington state. Mr. Kerry has won four of those states and is expected to win the other two when primaries are held there later this year.

Thanks so Joe Wilson started whoring with Kerry in 2003.
Right. After the SOTU, but before he wrote the Op-ED. Coincidence? I think not.
I keep wondering why he waited six months to dispute the SOTU.
Besides Miller protecting Plame/Wilson and probably Plame's last boss at the CIA. Miller is probably protecting Senator Chuckie and Kerry.
As you noted on another thread, Wilson started working for free for Kerry in 2003 shortly after his Niger trip.

The Wall Street Journal has discovered that Brewster Jennings Associates, Valerie Plame's cover firm, was registered with Dun & Bradstreet in 1994, registered at a Boston address, 101 Arch St. as a legal services firm, that has no record of the firm being located there. Nor does the MAssachusetts Bar Association have any record of Victor Brewster, listed as a partner in Brewster Jennings in Dun & Bradstreet's business database.
Interestingly, Nicholas Kristof notes in his NYT column Saturday, "the C.I.A. suspected that Aldrich Ames had given Mrs. Wilson's name (along with those of other spies) to the Russians before his espionage arrest in 1994. So her undercover security was undermined at that time, and she was brought back to Washington for safety reasons."
Interesting the timing of the CIA's "creation" of the Brewster Jennings cover, in May 1994, just three months after Plame was apparently brought back to Washington by the CIA to protect her from potential exposure caused by Aldrich Ames' suspected leaking of her identity to the Russians.
So Plame's "non official cover" as an energy analyst with Brewster Jennings was not apparently used until 1994 -- because the firm didn't "exist" as a cover until 1994.
Amazing in this day and age, the CIA doesn't seem to provide more solid cover to its NOCs than the fabulist Stephen Glass did for his own faked articles.
The WSJ also has an amusing look at the possible inspiration for the name of the CIA cover firm, here.
They will surely try to keep it on life support by coming up with "new developments" aka "leaks", which of course the news media are oh-so concerned about now. Yeah, since when?
I know a non-American who is astonished at this material. She can't believe how petty it is, and how so many Americans don't seem to understand how good they have it, and why they're tearing into Bush from every possible angle, when they should be worried about terrorists.
Thanks for the WSJ documentation of this part of the Plame/Blame Game.
"I flip through the news channels when I eat dinner (after midnight) and it wasn't in any of the first segments of the local and national news shows I saw. Not one story about it, and I scanned the beginnings of four different news shows at least."
If this hold up today and becomes a trend, the Plame/Blame Game to get Karl Rove will fade away like the get DeLay, Rummy and countless other attempts to electronically smear GW.
It's on the radar okay, but not a storm, merely dopplar picking up ground clutter and kitty litter.
Looks can be decieving. Schumer was already a d@mn fool, by first grade.
I've always thought that cover looked kind of useless mainly because it added no plausible deniability to someone using it. What was Plame supposed to say when asked who she worked for? A "secret" company? No, a cover company should look normal and this one looks to me like Plame did a basic D&B application herself without any other serious research or effort. This cover was allegedly verified by her boss but that would just prove that he's an idiot too.
