Was the Narcissistic Joe Wilson a Source in "Outing" His Own Wife Valerie Plame as a "CIA Agent"?

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.

Importantly, perhaps, and inferentially corroborative of the above account is the fact that David Corn in the Nation did an article on Valerie Plame's identity evidently (& reportedly) a day after he met with Joe Wilson.

Thanks for your incisive comment(!):


"If my wife was a covert CIA operative, and if I truly loved her and my country, I certainly wouldn't draw attention to her by drawing attention to myself by entering into a sophomoric public pissing match with the President."

Her real motives might easily be...

She will be a rare reporter who went to jail over freedom of speech to the liberals.
That is worth a million dollar book deal, lectures at between 5-25,000 a pop.
She will be a multi-millionairess over being jailed.

It's a great meal ticket.

And how about a $700,000 house.

[Texasforever]

They sure have started living well since the little woman's career was "ruined".

[FReethesheeples]

I sense, intuitively, that you think Palme ahas mercenary motives.

Actually, you communicated this plausible fact ($$$$$$$ as a motive for Ms. Judith Miller) very well & I commend you for it.

I just don't know for sure. But she should likely be able to captalize on her jail time.

Her motives may be pure in her own mind, but the outcome will be probably complcated. There might be unintended consequences. (Safe bet; there almost always are in a world where evil exists.) And $$$$$ will be part of the result.

They bought that house in 1998; before his book; and I'd like to know how two career insiders did that.

[Conservative4Ever]

In answer to the question.....YES!

Correction @ #38, my comments:

"You are corect taht she can become & is a "cause cleb" and may be quie "bankable."

Should obviously read:

"You are correct that she can become & is a cause celeb " and will be quite bankable." (Apologies for my hasty typing.)
