Wilson at first denied his wife had anything to do with his mission, until a memo surfaced that showed she recommended his for the assignment.

Wilson is STILL denying "his wife had anything to do with his mission" --

Transcript, Larry King Live, Nov. 1 2005:
KING: Did your wife have anything to do with your making that trip?
WILSON: She did not and, in fact...two reporters, Newt Royce and Tim Phelps of "Newsday" actually called the CIA and the CIA said to them she had nothing to do with her husband's trip.

That is a breathtakingly brazen lie.

Whatever Royce or Phelps may have reported (Phelps is one of the Leftist journalists who "broke" the Anita Hill story), there is incontrovertible PROOF that Valerie Plame had everything to do with sending Wilson to Niger in the 2004 Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Report on the U.S. Intelligence Committee's Pre-War Intelligence assessments on Iraq, starting on page 39...

...interviews and documents provided to the Committee indicate that [Wilson's] wife, a CPD [Counter Proliferation Division] employee, suggested his name for the trip.
...[Wilson's] wife told Committee staff that..she approached her husband on behalf of the CIA and told him "there's this crazy report" on a purported deal for Niger to see uranium to Iraq..."
....On February 19, 2002, CPD hosted a meeting with the former ambassador...an INR analyst's notes indicate that the meeting was "apparently convened by [Wilson's] wife who had the idea to dispatch [him] to use his contacts to sort out the Iraq-Niger issue."

Larry King did not challenge Wilson, even though proof of that lie has been publicly available for sixteen months.

"KING: Did your wife have anything to do with your making that trip?

WILSON: She did not and, in fact...two reporters, Newt Royce and Tim Phelps of "Newsday" actually called the CIA and the CIA said to them she had nothing to do with her husband's trip."

I remember Wilson being on C-SPAM a short time after NOvak's article.

He said he did not know who it was that sent him and would not know them if he met them on the street. Of course nobody asked him if his wife knew these people.

I think there is the possibility that Wilson is telling the truth that it was NOT his wife that selected him, I think it could very well have been somebody even outside the CIA who initially made the contact and orchestrated the deal.

Wilson's awareness of the forged documents to me indicates someone other than his wife, and it may well have been Wilson who whispered into his wife's ear the idea.

What is strange about this is that I have heard Rocketfeller claim that HE pushed for this investigation, and considering that Rocketfeller also told US that he himself went to Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia to warn them about a future invasion of Iraq, Jan 2002, a month before Wilson was sent on his tea sipping "free lancing" mission, has the appearance of at least one sitting Senator's involvement.

Further I have since heard (Hannity&C tv show) that there were people from the State Dept. that also accompanied Rocketfeller. So given what Wilson claimed that he did not know who these people were that he met with and would not know them on the street sounds like people outside of CIA.
