WASHINGTON -- Rep. Tom Davis, ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is puzzled by the House Intelligence Committee's claim that Valerie Plame Wilson has been consistent in her sworn testimony. He is asking the Intelligence Committee for documents to back up their contention.
Davis last month noted that Mrs. Wilson had testified to his committee that she, as a CIA employee, had not suggested the fact-finding mission to Niger by her husband, former Amb. Joseph Wilson. She earlier had told the Senate Intelligence Committee staff that she did not recall whether she made such a proposal. Davis also cited an internal CIA e-mail by her saying Wilson "may be in a position to assist."
Davis asked that Mrs. Wilson be recalled for testimony by his committee. Democratic Chairman Henry Waxman bucked the issue over to the House Intelligence Committee. When it responded she had been consistent in denying that she suggested her husband's mission, Davis was baffled in view of contradictory evidence.

If Plame’s boobish hubby had reported the truth about Saddam’s nuke ambitions, we’d be hearing 24/7 about how crazy it was that CIA agents were sending their spouses off on fact-finding missions of importance to national security. But no one seems at all bothered by this.
The lying Joseph Wilson, in fact, reported to the government information that tended to support the idea that Iraq had been shopping in Africa for yellowcake.
It was to the New York Times that he reported differently.
How is it that the lying Joseph Wilson was free to make use of information he acquired during a government financed trip on behalf of the CIA to a private organization like the New York Times?
At the very least is seems like appropriation of public property for private gain by the lying Joseph Wilson.
At worst, it looks like treason, something very familiar to the New York Times.
But then, given the refusal of the Justive Department to pursue treason charges, even when the treason is egregious and public, our laws against treason are nothing more than a dead letter. There really is no law regarding treason against the United States that the government is willing to enforse.
Quick, investigate Curt Weldon (R)-the election is only two weeks away.
"As a Mexican citizen, my goal is expand Mexico, protect illegal aliens,
protect Democrats and anyone who will unify my country, Mexico, and Amerixa."
The lily-livered Republican Congressional leadership blew their chance on this, when they still had power. Idiots.
Republicans need to learn how to play at bare-knuckled power politics.
Republicans have never had the balls to stand up against the Dems.
Maybe Rush can come up with a reason for us, because I don't get it.
Seems the on.. Bah. I'm going to bed, work in 5 hours.

All Joe ever said was that “they’re not seeking it through LEGAL channels.”
It's because he fits the MSM template of attacking Bush and republicans.
Lobotomy results?
Ah yes, in the utopian world of leftists the truth is that which advances their goals, facts mean nothing. In their rarefied world, Scooter, like the Duke Lacrosse team are guilty because of their political party or class. Plame and Fitz are likewise innocent. These are dangerous legal notions that defy logic and threaten to upturn our precarious system of justice.
These 2 can be completely laid to waste in just one day's worth of serious cross-examination. It's astounding how far they've been allowed to go with this fraud.
The gutless Republicans had years to expose Plame and her husband’s lying and idiocy. Now they are surprised the Dems are covering for them?
