Let's say that I accept your preferred interpretation and that Plame did suggest Wilson for the trip. The report is clear - she neither came up with the idea that the trip was necessary or useful, nor decided who should go.

So why is her suggestion such a big deal?

You're splitting hairs.

It is a big deal because Wilson attributed his trip to the Vice President's office, and not his wife.

I never said it was a big deal as far as what you said, but it is important in that it shows how Wilson lied about this when he said that Cheney sent him AND that his wife had nothing to do with him going.

To be totally non biased about this it is clear in looking at the Wilson statements since he returned from Niger and checking them against the committee reports and the CIA statements that Wilson has lied numerous times. The question is WHY?
