I just watched Michael Isikoff state flatly that our gal Val was covert when Rove mentioned her to Cooper. My wife asked me to quit yelling at the TV.

I don't know about that, but see post #119

Actually, Bush should tell Rove to go fishing with Cheney for a few days. And make sure there is a picture of him holding up the smallest fish he caught!

Good morning.

I read all of the article from post #119 and came away with the impression that back in 2003 CIA was scurrying to shift attention away from the question of why CIA allowed Val to recommend Joey for this mission in the first place. To me the article was about CYA from CIA.

I didn't see who wrote the article. It is just attributed to Knight-Ridder. Is the author listed?

If the story had actually unfolded as the article states, I don't think W and Karl Rove would be walking around with grins on their faces and Joey Wilson wouldn't be looking like his shoes and shorts are too tight.
