Paul Vallely, on air last night on the John Batchelor show, said he met Joe Wilson in 2002 in the "green room" of a cable network's studio.
Both Vallely and Wilson were waiting to go on air. Wilson, at that time, was packaging himself as an expert on Iraq.
Vallely said that since he and Wilson found they had some acquaintances in common, they began talking. In the course of the conversation, Wilson told Vallely that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA.
This conversation, Vallely said, took place in 2002, several months before Plame's alleged "outing" at the hands of Karl Rove and Scooter Libby, via Robert Novak's column published July 14, 2003.
Vallely also said that his impression of Joe Wilson, at that time, was that Wilson was a "self-promoter" who was making the rounds of the news programs, likely in advance of publishing a book.
[Note: Vallely's link on the John Batchelor Show website (scroll down to "Paul Vallely" under heading "Current Intelligence") does not carry this report, at least not yet. Link at this time goes to Joe Wilson: Lying About Iraqi Uranium.]
Joe Wilson is a self-centered, supercilious, spoltlight-grabber who is more interested in his bank account than his country's success in this world.
Putz.
Thanks, General, for affirming the truth about this guy.
Nice. Let us indeed have a trial of Scooter Libby.
Paging Mr Fitzgerald, paging Mr Fitzgerald.
What a great waste of time and taxpayer monies these commissions and special prosectors are.
oops prosecutors
Interesting. My question is this... when is someone going to finally put the smack down on Wilson once and for all? It bugs me to no end the free ride and promotion he's getting in the MSM.
Joe Wilson is a media whore...no doubt about it, and with any truth at all, he will be exposed.
I do believe he offered the same; some time ago on Fox News. . .
Like water in a sieve it seems. . .the truth keeps disappearing.
persecuters.
IMO because it is the only way he could justify the indictments of Libby.
Mega DITTOS to that!Though I am NOT a conspiracy theorist,I sincerely believe that this whole"outing"scam was hatched by Mrs.Wilson and some of her fellow CIA brethren to TRASH"W"and his foreign policy!!!!
All right, General! Glad he spoke out about Wilson.
Joe Wilson, your 15 minutes are UP.
Screw getting this to Fitzgerald! He doesn't care, as long as he gets a White House scalp to hang on his belt.
We need to get this guy on RUSH to get the message out. Rush doesn't usually do guests, but this time he might make an exception.
Mr.Libby(I believe)will be VINDICATED!!!!!
John Fund predicted the removal of Harriet Miers two weeks before it happened.
He had John Bolton on last night.
Liberals are talking about Iraq. I heard Syria and Iran. The future is now while they live in the past.
I would hope that Wilson is exposed, but look at the long run Jesse Jackson has had.
