Thanks for the ping and the information. Wilson's anti-Israel and conspiratorial views are instructive. He drew attention to himself and was, by his own admission, talking freely to the MSM. I believe that once he became so public, he invited scrutiny by the press, which led to the "outing" of his wife. It was the media who went to the WH to confirm Wilson's allegations and his wife's connection to the CIA. The Dems allegations that the WH intentionally outed Plame to punish and discredit Wilson are false.

A very relevant observation well put.

While I understand your argument, I'm not sure I agree. If she was covert, nothing Wilson would do would justify "outing" her, by anyone. If the media was looking for confirmation that they believed her to be CIA, anyone up as high as Rove and Libby knows that you can't even take a chance. The CIA will never confirm.
