So his little gold mining Niger consulting firm is taking off...after his Niger friends assured him they were not supplying Saddam with Yellowcake. He makes a trip for the CIA, yet:
>>Wilson never worked for the CIA, but his wife, Valerie Plame, is an agency operative on weapons of mass destruction. Two senior administration officials told me his wife suggested sending Wilson to Niger to investigate the Italian report. The CIA says its counterproliferation officials selected Wilson and asked his wife to contact him. <<

And he LIED.

These guys bashing Bush just keep on lying. Its a Viet Nam...It's the worst economy since Herbert Hoover...The UN should be in control of Iraq.

They should stop. People are starting to not believe them anymore.

but his wife, Valerie Plame, is an agency operative on weapons of mass destruction.

More than an operative, and less..
Valerie Plame, at the time of Wilson's trip, was Assistant Director of the CIA's Dept. on Weapons of Mass Destruction..
ANY government in the world would have already known who and what Valerie Plame was, as they would have known her position in the CIA..

Assistant Director is not a "secret operative" post.. It is an administrative position.
Thus, the ability to influence the assignment of a certain Joe Wilson for a little vacation jaunt to Niger..
