Alan Foley also suddenly "retired" right after this information came out.

Sorry, but all that is documented elsewhere. If not from other documents then from sworn testimony.

Is that the reason why Matthews let an F bomb slip on Imus this AM?

Care to elaborate?

Clarice Feldman wrote to Foley asking some questions, and he replied:

I didn’t know that Valerie Plame or Joseph Wilson existed until after the Novak article. I have never met nor communicated with either of them. Nor did I have any responsibility or authority relating to them, the reported trip to Niger, or the subsequent leak investigation. As for Ray McGovern, I don’t believe that I have either seen or talked to him since before his retirement from the Agency. That was many years ago; probably sometime in the late 1990’s. Please do not contact me again.

And Feldman naturally wonders:

Why did Wilson indicate to Vanity Fair that Foley was his wife’s boss when he apparently wasn’t? Why did McGovern suggest that Foley was going to become a more forceful critic of the Administration and the war after his retirement when he barely knew him and had had no recent contact with him at the time he made that suggestion?

Curiouser and curiouser.

It seems pretty clear the CIA listend to Valerie.

It has been known that when the story hit the papers Cheney didn't even know who Wilson was.

I don't know, either. Maybe Dad Bush did it! (In the billiard room, with the candlestick.)

There are several articles in which Joe is quoted as saying "The Niger mission was NOT a clandestine mission". He also said that if they were trying to purchase yellow cake, they were not doing it through "legal" channels. Like, duh....Joe. In other words, Joe said maybe, maybe not.

Valerie wasn't the secret......Joe was. And the entire affair was a clever conspiracy....with no written report by Joe, non-dislosure document.

Oh, yeah...he did it pro-bono....no paycheck...just expenses. Bet he went first class!!!!

It hasn't stopped the MSM from suggesting Cheney leaked her name has it?

I think the documents reveal the Wilsons as liars once and for all.

Don't get me wrong, I've thought this story has been ridiculous from the start. Of course Novak asked why Wilson, a former ambassador, would be sent to investigate illegal sales. Did they think the Nigerian officials would fess up to an American official?

The entire premis of the Left is that Cheney "cooked the books" on the intelligence ...that he "pressured" the intelligence community into submitting false information...Thiss would show it didnt happen

Any news I hear or read today in Big Media still has "Joe Wilson DISCREDITING!!! the Bush admin on uranium in Niger". I barely kept myself from screaming at the radio at work a few weeks ago when the lib radio station news stooge broadcast the "Wilson discredits Bush" lie. And that's still what Americans still hear. They don't read or hear that Joe Wilson has been proven to be a stinking liar and the Bush admin was right about Hussein and Niger uranium. They still dutifully repeat the lie that is fed to them by the Donkey Party operatives.

The fact that the CIA sent Wilson on a "clandestine" mission without requiring him to sign a non-disclosure agreement supports your theory.
