KERRY'S OTHER DIPLO ADVISER GETTING RADIOACTIVE (Joe Wilson)
New York Post ^ | 7/22/04 | DEBORAH ORIN

Posted on 07/22/2004 12:02:44 AM PDT by kattracks

July 22, 2004 -- JOHN KERRY ditched adviser Sandy Berger over the "Socks Docs" probe, but is stonewalling questions about another national security adviser whose credibility is taking much flak — Bush-basher Joe Wilson. Wilson, a former U.S. diplomat, probably did more damage to Bush's credibility than any other Kerry ally by setting the stage for a year of charges that "Bush lied" over whether Saddam Hussein was angling to get yellowcake uranium from the African nation of Niger.

I'm not sure it will solidify the base, but it could firm it up.

It would appear that their greatest value is that they are so easily disposed of and with the medias help covered up.

The Clintons taught them well...

Wilson claimed his wife, CIA operative Valerie Plame, had nothing to do with getting him sent on a CIA mission to Niger, but she pleaded amnesia and told the panel's staff: "I honestly do not recall if I suggested it to my boss."

But so far, Kerry is sticking with Wilson. Kerry aides haven't responded to queries asking why he hasn't ditched Wilson as an adviser. The Kerry-Edwards campaign Web site even features a fund-raising e-mail from Wilson — serving as a character reference for Kerry.

GOOD. They will known for the company they keep.

His wife is distancing herself from him...

This is incredible.

Wasn't her boss a guy named Foley who was forced to quietly resign over this entire set up fiasco quite early in the smear?

Plame worke in the CIA nonproliferation group whose boss, Alan Foley, had the famous tiff with Condi Rice's deputy Robert Joseph about the famous 16 words.


Alan Foley, the CIA official in charge of analysis on weapons of mass destruction, announced his retirement. His name hit the news recently when it was learned that Foley tried, unsuccessfully, to prevent the report on Iraq-Niger from finding its way into the president's state-of-the-union speech.
