I've thought for a long time Wilson is a spy for France. Since we know his first wife was a French intelligence agent it would only make sense. What if he married Valarie to get inside info from the CIA? When he married her he already knew she was no longer "covert" and would be working inside the puzzle palace. As you said, the whole trip to Niger could have been part of the plan to discredit the Bush administration.

I didn't realize she was a French intelligence agent. Do we know this for certain? I googled for her but didn't find anything. This is huge if true!

The CIA is Franco-philic and likely penetrated to some small but significant extent at all levels by French agents. As the OSS they worked closely with the French underground and Free French, also the Spanish elite (the monarchists). The Riveria, Paris, great places to toss young American know-it-alls into a salad with french dressing.

IOW, the CIA has always looked out for French interests. And I'm no Julia Child to have cooked all this up.

I find it rather interesting that Valerie is supposedly out of the country at the moment...in France.

She was his second wife. We don't know if she was an intelligence agent, just assigned to the French Embassy in Gabon.
