CAPITOL HILL (AP) - Outed CIA operative Valerie Plame says she had nothing to do with her husband being sent on a fact-finding trip to Africa. It was a trip that her husband later said debunked the Bush administration's rationale for war.
She testified to a House panel that, "There was no nepotism involved," adding that she did not "have that authority."
Her husband is former Ambassador Joseph Wilson. He found there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein was trying to buy uranium for nuclear weapons.

"Her husband is former Ambassador Joseph Wilson. He found there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein was trying to buy uranium for nuclear weapons."
This has already been debunked. Wilson did indeed find evidence of Saddam seeking uranium. No surprise that the liberal AP reports otherwise.
wouldn't it be great to see any of these elected republicans stand up on their hind legs for a change?
If the Republicans don't nail her on this I'll be really, really PO'd.
Yuh!She just "passed on a request".
So are you saying AP is lying when they say ... "Outed CIA operative Valerie Plame says she had nothing to do" ...
since according to you she didnt say that?
Interesting. AP lying about Plame's lies to Congress about lying Joe Wilson trip that led him to lie about Bush lying...
Yes, a good thing they are not Republicans, they might be in trouble.
Plame said a CIA colleague had mentioned that Wilson was qualified to do this assignment. She said she was "ambivalent" about that, as she was concerned about looking after the couple's two-year-old twins at the time.But asked to pass this request on, she did.

Sloppy reporting leads to more questions than it answers.Okay,she denied "recommending" him,but what was the nature of "this request"she "passed on"(this is a demonstrative pronoun,this one here,which one where?)
..."a CIA colleague had mentioned that Wilson was qualified to do this assignment..." is not a request.(Where do they get these writers?) The "context" seems to indicate that this request had something to do with her husband going overseas.I guess she requested that her husband be considered,but did not herself recommend him for the job.A letter that went something like "My husband is qualified for this assignment,but I'm not recommending him."
She said an email she sent was "taken out of context" by Republicans in Congress and made to seem as if she had recommended him.
The famous "taken out of context."
Valerie Wilson writes a memo to a superior saying, “My husband has good relations with both the PM [prime minister] and the former Minister of Mines (not to mention lots of French contacts), both of whom could possibly shed light on this sort of activity.”
If that's not a recommendation then I don't know what is, is.
Joe went to Niger twice for the CIA.
My money says that as soon as one does he will win the Conservative VOTE and the election.
It's also kinda strange that these people,who 30 years ago,believed that the CIA was behind every evil in the whole world,now think that it's the paradigm of honesty and integrity.
You might as well go ahead and get PO'd now and get it off your chest. No Republican will dare speak against the Dems, as they fear Dems will be in power in 2 years. It's all about their own long-term survival (in politics).
They are setting up an impeachment trial for the President and the Vice President. If they deliver 2 articles of impeachment at once we will be living in a third world country and it will be a coup. The Senate won't convict, I'm positive of that, but they will have destroyed the Presidency, and his ability to lead. They will lie, and lie, and lie. The MSM will back them up with lies of their own, and the rent-a-mobs will fill the streets with their vile behavior and smashmouth tactics. The liberal federal bench will throw the Constitution under the bus and the People will suffer. I don't even know if the Supreme Court could intervene. But, who cares, the ends justify the means. This will embolden our enemys, and the brave in the service of our country will die. But, who cares, the ends justify the means. Hell, a civil war may even break out which will cripple the nation. But, who cares, the end justifies the means.
The Republicans, the Administration, and the President need to start fighting back. If this thing is played out to a final, horrible, conclusion you and I could be imprisoned for being Republicans. We could probably get shot for being Conservatives.
In the eyes of this Conservative, the only difference between the Democrats and the Islamofascists is that the Democrats would imprison us and the Islamists would kill us. Either way I'm dead.
Note to self: buy lots of ammo, it's going to be a long siege.
God help us, and God bless the United States of America but I really think we are headed toward an armed conflict within the boarders of our own country. When lawmakers become the outlaw, what choice do we have? That's what the Second Amendment of the Constitution of these here United States was intended for. God help us, we may have to use it.
What do you bet she can't recall the name?
Other than a spectacle for the masses who vote for them, why are the dems bothering with an "investigation?"
Fact: Fitzgerald knew FROM THE START that Libby did NOT leak the information.
Fact: Fitzgerald knew FROM THE START who had leaked the information. Given the fact that NO CHARGES WERE BROUGHT against the "leaker," there must have been no crime committed.
Just a bunch of granstanding dems trying to destroy the administration. I really wish that the Bush administration would fight back, but I've got a feeling that they're using it for cover, so we don't notice what's going on with the illegal aliens.

AP lie: "Her husband is former Ambassador Joseph Wilson. He found there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein was trying to buy uranium for nuclear weapons"
Should have written: ....He lied when he said he found there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein was trying to buy uranium for nuclear, according to information in a senate committee report which was part of the 911 Investigation.
Someone said that when Plame was questioned she said she couldn't be sure she was covert when 'outed' because she wasn't a lawyer.
Is this correct? Anyone know if there a quote from the hearing around about this?
