Hypothetically lets' say that Plame got Mr. Wilson the gig to Africa, then she went undercover and joined him for drinks in the bar and a little undercover work at the hotel. Hypothetically she could then write whatever she wanted in HIS report just to make itlooklike he'd done something ....... Hypothetically, it would make a nice second honeymoon/vacation at tax payers expense. SO I wonder which name she used.....What we need is access to the flight registrar and hotel guests.

That's a great point - we already know everything about Wilson's 'report' is a fraud - he never should have been sent on this 'mission' and his report was bogus and he never should have pretended to the public (these past two years) that his conversations over "warm mint tea" could ever possibly prove or disprove* anything about Iraq seeking uranium from Niger. Now we need someone to find out whether Valerie had any further role in this boondoggle - i.e., did she go on the trip, did she have anything to do with his report, did she use him to further any sort of position she was taking within the CIA vis-a-vis WMDs????

Wilson's report only added some 2nd-hand support to the concerns about Iraq and Niger uranium, though he was too dense to realize it, because he did relay the information that "Baghdad Bob" himself had tried to initiate trade talks with Niger.... since Niger has exactly ONE export that could be of any potential interest to Saddam (besides uranium, the other options for Niger's potentially booming trade relations with Baghdad are "livestock, cowpeas, onions").

I like the way you think. The only reasons to recommend her husband for the trip:

-- He has no job and he needs some work passed his way. What was his job anyway before this trip?
-- Free trip for husband means free trip for wife (free hotel and free eats anyway).
-- She gets the loser out of town for a few days peace and quiet for herself.
-- Nepotism pure and simple.
