WASHINGTON The husband of the C-I-A agent whose cover was blown is clearing up some confusion over a comment he made to C-N-N.
Joseph Wilson said yesterday that his wife, Valerie Plame, "was not a clandestine officer the day Bob Novak blew her identity."
Today, he says he was only pointing out that once her identity was blown, his wife lost her ability to be a covert agent. He says he wasn't suggesting that she had stopped working undercover for the C-I-A beforehand.
Wilson is continuing his attack on White House adviser Karl Rove, for discussing his wife with columnist Novak and Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper. The discussion came just days after Wilson had written in The New York Times that some of the administration's intelligence on Iraq's nuclear weapons was twisted to exaggerate the threat.
I read the article about that
From everything I've read about ths women .. doesn't sound like she had a HUGE problem keeping a secret
And this is the best person they could find to go and investigate the Nigerian uranium thing. Sounds like a typical Gov't, Good Ole Boy boondoggle to me.
My thoughts exactly.
Which is exactly what they are pushing. If Rove is the source, then Miller is in jail because she didn't want to disclose him as her source.
If anyone believes that, I have several bridges in NYC and the San Francisco area to sell them.
He is a Kerry-backer. Nuff said...
Could minor Ambassador Joe Wilson himself have been the source in blowing his own Wife's cover?
It is distinctly possible, (though it may be unlikely that Joe Wilson himself directly was NY Times Judith Miller's source), since Joe Wilson himself evidently routinely bragged openly to strangers about her CIA employment, prior to such "cover" being "blown" in the press.
Here's an example of Joe's apparently routine and open bragging about Valerie being a "CIA agent," which became known directly to me over a year ago:
He certainly bragged about it per a famous and highly reliable source's (named below) account of his own face-to-face encounter with Amb. Joe Wilson prior to Valerie Plame's "outing" as a CIA agent/employee.
Based upon a personal conversation (we were in a small group eating; it was NOT an "off the record") I had with eminent historian Victor Davis Hanson (we were at a luncheon table together during a trip to Europe), it appeared entirely possible that Joe Wilson himself was the (or one source, if not the original one) possible source in revealing his own wife's status as a CIA agent or employee.
Victor Davis Hanson (Wilson presumably knew Victor Davis Hanson wrote regularly for NRO (National Review Online), had done OpEds for the Wall street Journal, and other publications, and had his own Website with a widespread following) said he (VDH) & Joe Wilson were both in the same "Green Room" before a televised debate-discussion on Iraq, etc. and Joe first warned the TV make-up person not to get powder on his $14,000 Rolex watch, then he bragged to Victor about several things (possessions and trips to Aspen, etc.), like his expensive car (I think it was a Mercedes), and then bragged about his beautiful ("hot") wife who, Joe Wilson said (braggingly) was a CIA operative.
I asked Victor Davis Hanson Why he didn't write up this account.(?) He replied that Joe Wilson would probably simply deny it, since only he (VDH) & Joe Wilson were in the Green Room together before the broadcast.
However, it is now easy to surmise that Joe Wilson is a crass, materialistic, self-promoting, vain, egotistical, bragaddocio-opportunist, so this account is perfectly consistent with Valerie Plame's TWO photo shoots in Vanity Fair. (Or was it Vogue? No, probably too crass for Vogue, n'est pas?)

As we all know, she gave it up to Joe while she was givin' it up to Joe.
On their third date.
Did I mention he was married at the time?
:-)
Your right. Good point. My English Teacher would grade this an "F".
ROFLMAO!
LOL!
He is a Democrat hack.
"Today, he says he was only pointing out that once her identity was blown, his wife lost her ability to be a covert agent."
I could tell how badly she wanted that capability.
"Even when she did work "undercover" it's not like she was a deep undercover agent."
Well, she was deep under Wilson's covers.
Wonder how much prestigious power the Wee Weaky Wilsons lost? Weaky Wilson seems bent on blaming everyone except himself and wife for their own downfall.
John Loftus is as big a blowhard as Wilson! Why does Fox have him on the Sunday Show ? Fox is UNWATCHABLE.
