That just makes you, IMHO, the Double lame-ass who make the assertion, posted links which don't back it, then thumbs his nose like a grade-schooler, as if anyone believes anyone here can't use ask jeeves.
By the by, I see this as a very serious indictment of Libby, because if the Vice President said he heard it from reporters and or staff who heard it from reporters, then we'd know HE sought the information out himself. Still, have you tried asking Jeeves "why does joe wilson lie?"
You get might this (don't worry, I'll read the General's transcript, or listen if need be, in due time) from the bi-partisan Senate Intelligence Committee Report (I just found that Wilson Admitted that his wife herself WROTE words of obvious recommendation (you have to say) of him to fellow CIA operatives, and I found even her very words themselves.
Here:
"The report states that a CIA official told the Senate committee that Plame "offered up" Wilson's name for the Niger trip, then on Feb. 12, 2002, sent a memo to a deputy chief in the CIA's Directorate of Operations saying her 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." The next day, the operations official cabled an overseas officer seeking concurrence with the idea of sending Wilson, the report said.
Wilson has asserted that his wife was not involved in the decision to send him to Niger.
"Valerie had nothing to do with the matter," Wilson wrote in a memoir published this year. "She definitely had not proposed that I make the trip."
Wilson stood by his assertion in an interview yesterday, saying Plame was not the person who made the decision to send him. Of her memo, he said: "I don't see it as a recommendation to send me."
So we see that Wilson doesn't see as a recommendation his wife's written words to the CIA as follows: "(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." HE ADMITS SHE WROTE THIS! He's as convoluted as you often are! See, I learn something everyday, how about you?

Huh. Dang. That's rather an odd definition of "recommendation" he has.

P.S: I truly will enjoy learning about the General's explanation. |
