Absolutely! The wife of an ambassador has to do a lot of entertaining, and accept invitations to all sorts of events, both overseas and in Washington. Federal Washington is a highly incestuous town, with reporters, corporate big shots, congressional staffers, elected officials, lobbyists, ambassadors and other foreign officials all mixing for both business purposes and social functions. Many meet their spouses (and lovers) as they make the rounds of social functions.
Wilson is not exactly an anonymous face, since he's been an analyst on TV for some years. The idea that his wifey poo made the rounds of all the parties, lunches, dinner and theater invitations, and whatnot without ever mentioning at least something about her employment is laughable on it's face.
I agree. This story just doesn't add up. I want to know when she was at CIA (if she really was an employee) and in what capacity. If she was an analyst at Langley 20 years ago, this whole thing is bogus.
