Not only is Wilson probably guilty of violating the standard secrecy oath of the CIA on and after his trip to Niger, Plame's boss, Alan Foley is probably the bastard who set this entire fiasco up.
Here is what the mediots have hidden from America. The CIA boss of Plame has just recently retired/resigned.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/995426/posts?q=1&&page=44 AUGUST 29, 2003 : (ALAN FOLEY, HEAD OF THE WEAPONS INTELLIGENCE, NONPROLIFERATION, AND ARMS CONTROL CENTER ANNOUNCES HIS PLANS TO LEAVE THE CIA) A top CIA expert on weapons of mass destruction, who became embroiled in controversy over whether the White House stretched evidence about Iraq's programs, said he planned to leave the agency in October. Alan Foley, who heads the Weapons Intelligence, Nonproliferation, and Arms Control Center, told colleagues in a note dated Aug. 29 that he had been "thinking about life after the agency for some time" and decided to leave after 26 years to enter the private sector. ...While I can't prevent the inevitable speculation that will be generated by the timing of my decision, I want you to know that this is something that I decided entirely on my own," Foley said in the note, obtained by Reuters on Wednesday. "I can't deny that the pressures of the past few months have not weighed heavily in my mind, but there are many other aspects to my decision, not the least of which is that I'm intrigued by the prospect of trying my hand at a second career in the private sector," he said. - "Head of CIA Weapons Analysis Program Leaving," Reuters , 09-10-03

* Isn't it fascinating that we would have a new poster today talking about intelligence blunders and such? On the same day that Mr. Foley's resignation is made known. Quite a coincidence, isn't it?10 posted on 09/10/2003 6:21 PM PDT by Miss Marple
* Thanks for the ping, I believe Foley want's out before any investigation gets underway about Joseph Wilson & his wife's involvement in this whole Niger smear attempt 14 posted on 09/10/2003 6:35 PM PDT by MJY1288
Here is a possible scenario of this mess. Foley, Plame and Wilson with the help of the Clintoons and ?, cooked up this non event trip to Niger for Wilson.
Tenet was not aware of it as he had more serious things to keep track of. Tenet saw the report when Wilson got back and basically said it had little value.
The Rats kept this report on their back burner until they released their Yellowcake Scam I in July. That failed thanks to the internet with the exact 16 words that GW used in his SOTU address.
So they put it back on the back burner and started Yellowcake II which is the non exposure of Plame, a very good friend of $inator Hildebea$t. They blogged this non exposure story until they needed it.
They needed it to distract from Kay's report and the fact that the muslim traitors in Gitmo had connections to American Muslims who had donated money to the Hildebea$t which helped her to become $inator Hildebea$t.
So they and their bed butt buddies, the mediots and videoits went whacko for the first time in their lives that there had been exposure of a really secret CIA agent.
Now we know that she was not an agent, and it was no secret around the DC area that she worked for the CIA.
I think that Alan Foley, the newly retiring/resigning boss of Plame is a very guilt person in this whole mess. He and Wilson planned Wilson's trip as a trip wire to harm GW at some later time.
Many of us feel that the two CIA agents in the BBC lies about Yellowcake were Wilson and Plame.

We've crossed the River Ebro when it comes to government partisanship, and that will could have terrible consequences for the ability of The US Civil Service. If you think beaurocrats stink now, just wait until they are having departmental infights over which party which bean-counter votes for. This is a terrible precedent to have CIA agents so blatantly turning their jobs into platforms to help their favored party reach office.
It is unbelievable that Foley's retirement/resignation has been overlooked by the press.
