Just who are you referring to as an "intelligence asset"? Valerie Plame, whose husband was busy writing anti-war diatribes in "The Nation" on the eve of war? That asset?
And while I'm on the subject, why didn't Wilson bother to include in his "Nation" piece that was written about two weeks after the State of the Union Address any concerns he had about what he'd "found" (or not) in Niger and the president's speech? Hm?
Oh, and when Wilson was a guest of Bill Moyers at the end of February---again, after the SOTU speech, is Wilson agreeing that Saddam has WMD, but his disagreement is with war and Wilson was arguing for "containment" and accusing Bush of Empire building.
Now, I wonder about "intelligence assets" married to such and just where their loyalties lie.
