I didn't realize she was a French intelligence agent. Do we know this for certain? I googled for her but didn't find anything. This is huge if true!

I believe Wilson's frogette was wife number 2. She was a French embassy employee in one of the 3rd tier countries where he served or rambled through in Africa. He was still married to the frogette when he was tiddling Valerie and Valerie was telling Joe about her Agency affliation "during a heavy makeout session" (as per Joe's own memoirs).
Wilson Wife #1 is the mother of the senior Wilson twin children, Valerie the 3rd, the mother of the junior twin Wilson children.
With Wilson's ego, mouth and pretensions, he wouldn't make a good spy for anyone. He makes Maxwell Smart look discreet.
What is somewhat curious is the fact that Wilson does not seem to come from money nor do any of the Wilson spouses seem to have been well off but Joe has lived QUITE well for a double divorcee with 4 kids to support, on a foreign service salary/pension, and a make-believe company he started that is supposedly headquartered in a warehouse in DC. Something the press has no interest in investigating.
We don't. We merely speculate that she might be. When Wilson met Miss Jacqueline, she was a Cultural Attache for the French Embassy. This is a diplomatic role that is often, but not always, occupied by DGSE personnel.
Thus, speculation is legitimate. But there is no certainty.
I refuse to believe that the whole agency is corrupt, so there must be some people out there who are looking into this. There has to be people within the agency that are horrified by this entire thing, the leaking to the press, the whole WMD fiasco (Saddam only had WMDs when Clinton was in office and bombing Iraq, but suddenly as soon as Bush takes office they never existed?)
The only thing worse than having the CIA politicized is having it infiltrated by foreign agents pursuing their countries agenda over the wellbeing of the United States.
