If Plame in fact offered up her husband's name as a suggestion for the trip to Niger, how could she be working undercover? Wouldn't she have been at Langley (CIA headquarters)? Edit: last year NYTimes reported after she was undercover as energy analyst, she worked undercover at the State Department.

Titillating tidbit from the Senate Report, vis-a-vis Wilson: "(U) The former ambassador also told Committee staff that he was the source of a Washington Post article ("CIA Did Not Share Doubt on Iraq Data; Bush Used Report of Uranium Bid," June 12, 2003) which said, "among the Envoy's conclusions was that the documents may have been forged because 'the dates were wrong and the names were wrong.'" Committee staff asked how the former ambassador could have come to the conclusion that the "dates were wrong and the names were wrong" when he had never seen the CIA reports and had no knowledge of what names and dates were in the reports. The former ambassador said that he may have "misspoken" to the reporter when he said he concluded the documents were "forged." He also said he may have become confused about his own recollection after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported in March 2003 that the names and dates on the documents were not correct and may have thought he had seen the names himself. The former ambassador reiterated that he had been able to collect the names of the government officials which should have been on the documents.<< Page 45. "May have misspoken"! To the Washington Post! May have told the fricken' Washington Post (Nicholas Kristof) that the White House was relying on obvious forgeries that nobody at the White House even knew about at the time because nobody knew about them at the time, including Joe Wilson. I'd file him under "lying sack of shit" but I can see how a Democrat would be loath to give him up. Not you personally, anybody who desperately wants Bush to lose.
