(CNN) -- Retired career diplomat and former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson has been a prominent figure throughout special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into who leaked the secret identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame, Wilson's wife.
Three days after a federal grand jury indicted I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, in the CIA leak investigation, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer talked Monday with Wilson.
BLITZER: Do you have confidence in Patrick Fitzgerald?
WILSON: Absolutely. In fact, I think the one thing that the indictment showed the other day is that our system of justice works; that in a nation that is based upon the rule of law, no man is above the law. And that's what Pat Fitzgerald said and made very clear.
BLITZER: Are you, though, disappointed that he didn't charge anyone with outing your wife as an undercover CIA operative?
WILSON: Well, I think it's important to remember two things.
One, he was unable to indict on anything other than the charges because, as he said, his investigation into this was impeded by the obstruction of justice and perjury.
And two, as he said, the state's interests were vindicated by the indictments that were handed down.
And three, finally, this is not a crime against Joe Wilson or Valerie Wilson, it's a crime against the country, against the national security of the country.
So we have no vote in whether or not we're disappointed or not disappointed.

Joe Wison should bite Karl Rove's a**.
Wasn't Wilson the last diplomat to speak to Saddam Hussein before Iraq Invade Kuwait?
I demand Joe Wilson resign in disgrace at once! (Two can play that game.)
Yeah, as if Al Qaeda would threaten Val P. when she's been one of their most effective propagandists working to bring down the US government..... if Bin Laden and Al Zawahiri are getting any news at all about US internal politics they are loving the Wilsons for serving the cause of Islamo-fascism so well. If they did issue any threat(s) against her it would only be for the duplicitous purpose of boosting her bona fides (the way spy moles have sometimes created an artificial threat to themselve to appear more legitimate), i.e., making her seem like more of a real American rather than a seditious rogue CIA charlatan working to undermine the elected government of the USA.
This is absolutely true! It was not a crime against Joe Wilson and his little secret agent wife. The crime was against the country when these two conspired with nefarious elements within the CIA to undermine our foreign policy.
What a maroon! Exactly those data both he and she had helped to publish way before Novak ever wrote his article.
Read this at Seamole's log:
"From his on-line biography at the Saudi-linked Middle East Institute: He is married to the former Valerie Plame and has two sons and two daughters."
Also, "Certainly, Valerie Plame-Wilson appears to have had no problem linking not only her surname to his but also to his e-mail address.
"All of which makes me truly wonder, what was this woman doing with a security clearance?"
Valerie Wilson also donated money to public campaigns and noted as place of employment exactly that corporation that Wilson was worried that it shouldn't be linked to her.
The man's a total fool!
Wilson couldn't end up with a Hati ammbassadorship
ain't nobody covert undercover who walks out her front door every morning from her home she shares with her ambassador husband and drives to the CIA building in Langley,, how hard is that to believe she works at the CIA?
it's Green Acres in reverse,, the old husband is the dumb one and the young pretty wife has the brains
and he is the one who loves the DC life and I get the feeling she would just as soon live outside the city raising her kids
You're a good talking human.
I'd like to see Joey do a face-to-face with Brit Hume for about an hour.
Plame rhymes with shame.
