I have still not found any article or story that explains to me why it was important to try and discredit Valerie Plame?

Excuse me, but have you been following this story at all?

Plame's importance was that, as a CIA employee and Joe Wilson's wife, it was she who sent him to Niger. Not Cheney, as Wilson had been claiming.

Further, nobody in the White House was responsible for leaking Plame's name in an attempt to discredit her. Instead, it was an anti-Bush State Dept gossip named Richard Armitage.

It was true, though, that the White House had a real interest in finding out who sent him -- because Wilson was claiming it was Cheney and they knew better. However, once they found out, the White House kept their mouths shut.

The whole narrative that the MSM has established is a complete lie.

Wilson & Plame are important only in the sense of how far the media and their liberal cohort will go in order to promote an anti-war, anti-Bush interpretation of events.

Thanks for the info. Sincerely appreciate it. Nah, I never followed the story. I only heard about it when media tried to turn it into another Watergate. So one more question if you will....why is Wilson important? Who cares if he went to Niger or wherever?

There is still a lesson here......putting these losers on ignore is the right thing to do......otherwise nonsensical things like this turn into a huge scandal....
