Joe Wilson was a US ambassador to several countries in Africa, among other things. He was very experienced in their affairs. In the beginning of the build-up to war, Bush & Co. come up with these papers claiming they're proof that Saddam had tried to buy uranium from Niger.
They wanted to find somebody who could go to Niger and verify their claims. Valerie Plame, Wilson's wife, was a covert CIA operative doing hands-on work in WMD anti-proliferation. She recommended him. He was more than qualified to check out the claims in Niger, due to his extensive time and contacts in the region.
Unfortunately there was a disconnect somewhere, because Wilson actually investigated the legitimacy of the documents, as opposed to just verifying them. He found out they were forgeries (my guess is the Chalabi group or the Libby/Feith group had them concocted). He told the White House as much, and what did they do? A few days later, they used this 'Niger-Yellowcake' connection to make one of their biggest official justifications for starting a war with Iraq.
After that, Wilson went to press with what he found from his trip. After he told the public that Bush's claims were completely unsubstantiated, and that Bush knew as much when he made the claims, then *someone* leaked Wilson's wife's name to the press.
I hear a lot of people spinning this to the tune that Rove only dropped her relationship and position to Cooper (and whoever else), so he could let people know that Joe Wilson wasn't qualified to ever have gone on the trip to begin with. i.e. "See -- his own wife got him the job because of her connections, he should have never even been on the assignment."
But that's pure BS. He worked for more than one administration dealing with sensitive issues in Africa, including Bush Senior's administration. He was plenty qualified to go to Niger and talk to their government and decide whether some governmental documents were authentic or not. Rove and BushCo are just throwing another tantrum because somebody didn't act the way they were supposed to. Except it's a treasonous tantrum that fits right in with all the other irreparable damages he's done to our country.
This whole gang of thugs deserves nothing better than a cold stone slab for life in my opinion, but whether any of his exploits will ever be common knowledge or not depends on our mainstream press.... Who depend on "official government sources" for all their news to begin with. So do you laugh or do you cry? :icon22:

owned...
Q No, you're not finishing -- you're not saying anything. You stood at that podium and said that Karl Rove was not involved. And now we find out that he spoke out about Joseph Wilson's wife. So don't you owe the American public a fuller explanation? Was he involved, or was he not? Because, contrary to what you told the American people, he did, indeed, talk about his wife, didn't he?
MR. McCLELLAN: David, there will be a time to talk about this, but now is not the time to talk about it.

lol...scott stonewalling yesterday was more bs...they are not under orders not to talk about the case...they can say whatever they want...close inspection of the wording from the gaggle proves it...this whole admin talks the same...
“The prosecutors overseeing the investigation had expressed a preference to us that one way to help the investigation is not to be commenting on it from this podium.”
“That’s something that the people overseeing the investigation have expressed a preference that we follow. And that’s why we’re continuing to follow that approach and that policy.”
“There came a point when the investigation got underway when those overseeing the investigation asked that it would be their — or said that it would be their preference that we not get into discussing it while it is ongoing.”
“Well, those overseeing the investigation expressed a preference to us that we not get into commenting on the investigation while it’s ongoing. And that was what they requested of the White House.”
“I think probably more than one individual who’s involved in overseeing the investigation had expressed a preference that we not get into commenting on the investigation while it’s ongoing.”

That's the long and short of it.
The CIA spook was the wife of a guy (was he a congressman, senator, or what?) who had written an op-ed piece that totally discounted all the bullshit evidence BUsh used in his 2002 speech leading up to the war in Iraq (like his deal about Iraq trying to get uranium from Niger). Most likely, the actions of the people leaking his wife's name right after he put out that story were vindictive in nature...probably trying to get him off the administration's case...or something.
ok now i get it. that's this valerie plame chick
lol, this all sounds like some imperial court machinations, like something the borgias would do only without the public disembowelling
