The Senate Intelligence Committee has just released a new report as part of its continuing investigation into prewar intelligence. In the report, the committee's vice chairman, Republican Sen. Christopher Bond, has included a set of "additional views" in which he provides new evidence contradicting some of the public testimony Valerie Plame Wilson gave before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in March.
In that testimony, Mrs. Wilson flatly denied playing a role in choosing her husband, Joseph Wilson, for a fact-finding trip to Niger. "I did not recommend him. I did not suggest him," she testified.

If the spineless republicans don’t do this, history will record the false version of the story and they will be mired.
Wouldn’t we all be surprised if Val was charged with lying to Congress?
Oh well........at least FOXNews is covering this.
But wouldn’t you know, this damaging information about Valerie Plame is released on a Friday. Not only that, the Friday start of a holiday week-end! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
It’s only perjury if a republican seemingly lies to congress. Plame has nothing to worry about.
Ms. Palme lies before a committee under oath. There is a paper trail showing she lied. She had a motive to lie.
She was under oath. Where in the hell is the special prosecutor now. He knew about this and had access to all these records.
Scooter Libby got screwed in a political show trial that would have been worthy of the old Soviet Union.
oh, she gets to lie, but Libby has to go to jail because he could not remember specific details, when none of the witnesses against him could remember specific details either...?????
I wonder if she will get the same treatment as “Scooter Libby”?
besides watching the media cover for Bill Clinton in rape and wimmins attacks, watching what Plame did to Libby is like water setting fire to air............bizzare and totally dishonest
The fault is ultimately Bush's. As Harry Truman one said, "The buck stops here." Bush appointed the incompetent Ashcroft to the Department of Justice and he failed to clean it out or even to try to clean it out. Then Bush appointed the even less competent Gonzalez.
Ashcroft promptly recused himself from the Plame affair, and a clintonoid then appointed Fitzgerald, a trusted DNC agent, to the position of Special Prosecutor. Can anyone imagine Janet Reno recusing herself in such a case? And Reno didn't even have any brains between her ears. But she still knew better than that, or at least took directions from her boss.
All that was bad enough, but then Bush let Scooter dangle in the wind and never even bothered to point out that Plame was NOT a secret agent under the terms of the law that was supposedly broken and being investigated. The whole basis of the investigation was a lie.
Evidently Bush thought that knuckling under and lying low was the best road to take. Far from it. Most Americans now understandably think that Rove and Libby and Bush and Cheney are somehow guilty of leaking secrets and persecuting enemies, because they sat back and said nothing while for four years the Great Fitzgerald investigated their numerous supposed crimes.
None of this needed to happen if Bush had adhered to Elementary Politics 101 and put his own reliable people in charge of the Justice Department, the FBI, and the CIA, instead of leaving gangs of clintonoids in control.
I read the whole memo. Very interesting. It is time for Fitzgerald to have her indicted for perjury.
Libby’s attorney should be all over this.
Well, you know, it was all lies but hey, she is a lib therefore it was accurate. Just ask Dan Rather...
The world is upside down......only Republicans do bad and get punished.....Democrats do bad and get rewarded with money and fame and praise.
Libby’s attorney is a DEMOCRAT....so is Libby’s wife!! Libby may also be a Democrat. Aside from the unfairness, I almost don’t care what happens to Libby.
What does Libby’s lawyer or wife being Democrats have to do with him?
