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.
What a danely clymer!
Uh.....he's a democrat. Is that a rhetorical question?
"And all I want is a shoe phone. :)"
I always wanted a communicator from Star Trek. I look at my flip cell phone and realize that we have gotten close.
"Oh my God! This guys is such a bad liar."
Wilson describes it as "literary flair."
Valerie wasn't clandestine at the time of Rove's conversation with Cooper, or for more than five years before it, and Wilson knew it.
So what does it matter what the context of the question was? I guess you think an admission of the obvious is important to some hear.
I'm not sure he has one.
I believe it was 7 years ago
Also the agent know of Plame that was mentioned in the Washington Times article will be on Hannity & Colmes tonight
Exactly!
Was Valerie Plame's name on the NOC list that Ethan Hunt pilfered from the CIA in Mission Impossible?
Wonder if Valerie REALLY did any covert work...or just collect a big paycheck and expenses.
Rush said today that Joe Wilson is actually CALLING people asking to be on their shows!
For all practical purposes, she stopped being a secret agent when she married Amb. Joseph "Big Mouth" Wilson.
Just stop and think about it for one second - Wolf was asking him about whether it was 'inappropriate' to do a photo shoot for VF with his wife who was "a clandestine agent," and he replied that she wasn't a clandestine agent on the day - on the day, not before the day - that Novak published his column.
Wolf was NOT asking her if she was a clandestine agent at or before the time of the Novak column. He was asking a question about her being 'clandestine' when they did the photo shoot and whether that was appropriate.
When Wolf DID ask whether she was clandestine before Novak published, he wouldn't comment.
I'm just sayin'...
Pathetic but delightfully funny!
The 'Clown' plied his well-known lies with the best wishes and full cooperation of the MSM.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
The CIA did a referral for some reason. And Fitzgerald has taken two years with it for some reason. It would be odd if all that could've been avoided with a curt conclusion that she didn't fall within the statute.
