Valerie Plame Still Wants to Know ...

Tuesday 13 November 2007

Former covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson would still like to know the identity of the CIA official who passed her name to the office of Vice President Dick Cheney in the spring of 2003, and 'under what circumstances.'

That's just one of several unanswered questions Plame Wilson has been trying to figure out in the years since several senior officials in the Bush administration leaked her name to syndicated columnist Robert Novak and a handful of other journalists. That leak ended her two-decade CIA career.

'I'd like to know, why did Novak go with my maiden name, Plame, in his original article?' Plame Wilson said during an hour-long, two-part interview with Truthout. 'I always thought that was strange. When I married, I took my married name. And then he used Valerie Plame . It was only the CIA who knew that I worked for them, and my maiden name.'

Plame Wilson is promoting her book, 'Fair Game,' a memoir she wrote about the leak, her job as an intelligence operative working on counterproliferation issues, and the fallout that ensued when she became a public figure after her identity and CIA status were published in newspapers and magazines. Her book landed on The New York Times bestseller list two weeks ago and has more than 350,000 copies in print.

Perhaps the most important question yet to be answered for Plame Wilson is whether President Bush had prior knowledge about the leak of her identity.

"I'd love to know, what did President Bush know about all of this?" Plame Wilson said.

1. K & R: "what did President Bush know"

[Eurobabe]

2. ME too. Uncle Fester fessed up on Wolfie this past weekend

talking about a "memo" but no one knows who put her name in that memo in the first place.

GWB and friends in "high" places I guess.

3. If Bush* was any sort of man at all he would issue a Public Apology at the very least.

The bottom line is that she has lost her job of over two decades because of this Administration either from malice or incompetence but she lost her job and is owed at the very least an apology. She did nothing wrong, NOTHING....We sure don't see that famous "Compassion" from this Administration at this time do we?

7. I'll Wager It Was George "Medal of Freedom" Tenet Who Spilled the Beans

Either directly, or indirectly. After all, Poppy was a Chief Spook, and probably still has made men or soldiers in that camp.
