Nothing wrong with Plame recommending Wilson, a man who is among the most experienced and qualified in our country to go to Africa and talk WMD.s After all he was ambassador to two African hellhole countries, as well as ambassador to Iraq leading up to the Gulf War. A true American hero, Wilson was the last man out of Baghdad and the one who saved the Human Shield hostages from Saddam's grip. All these important facts you will never hear from the RNC liars brigade who are intent on smearing our heros. One more thing, Plame did not and could not send her husband to Niger. She did not have the power to do so. And even if she had, it would be an excellent choice.

Perhaps the CIA DO asked Plame about it? I mean she is...was...one of our best WMD agents. So what if she did suggest her husband? Suggesting is not recommending per say. Wilson went over there and found no evidence of any Yellow Cake transactions. It's also a fact that the documents were forged, and it's also a fact that Tenet told bush that it was doubtful...that's why he changes the SOTU address to say that the British intel was such. (They discovered the same documents...only they haven't figured out that they were forged yet). And now even the Bush administration said yes it's not true and took it out of several speeches after the SOTU. The facts are that Iraq did not recently seek yellow cake from Africa. Orca

Mr. Bush's aides portray themselves as victims in this case, battered by conflicting intelligence and ill served by the head of the C.I.A. at the time, George J. Tenet. Mr. Tenet, they argue, did not convey to the White House doubts he had about the validity of the charge. But Mr. Tenet's doubts were deep enough that Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, in an interview in 2003, said that he had never believed the uranium story and that he was mystified why the White House thought it legitimate. nytimes.com Orca
