The first night this thing erupted in July 2003 I sat at my computer amd googled the words "Joseph Wilson, married to" and immediately got the Middle East Institute bio. I was stunned. I thought if I could do this so easily then why couldn't Novak or any reporter who knew she worked at CIA have done exactly the same thing? The only thing I have never quite understood is why Novak felt it was necessary to put her name in the article in the first place.
When Novak called her an operative, he meant just that....a Dem Operative...and he said so directly. The strange thing is that Joe talked about Valerie with Novak just before Novak's article came out...and more than once.
Joe said "leave my wife out of this". I believe Novak responded that she's "Fair Game"...hence the title of Valerie's book.
Bubba MUST HAVE known that Valerie was CIA...and if Bubba knew, Hillary knew.
No matter how you cut this, the leak came from the Dem camp.
The secret was Who went to Niger??...not who is Joe Wilson's wife. Joe is responsible for the entire load of garbage AND Joe said that Iraq didn't purchase Yellow Cake legally...and if they did, they did it illegally.
