Plame-Gate.....the saga continues...

Valarie Plame's new book is coming out, so talk shows are heating up again...at the same time, some documents have been declassified that have direct impact on these events.

• On two occasions, Plame claimed that she never recommended her husband for this assignment...however a February 2002 email released, from Plame to a CIA manager now shows that she did recommend her husband, and encouraged the CIA to take advantage of his experience.
• Joe Wilson ADMITTED in testimony to congress that before writing his OP-ED piece, he secretly released information to a New York Times reporter. He further ADMITTED that when he did this, he knew the information was still classified.
• Plame claims that at the time of the Novak article, she was still "covert", and that no one knew who she really worked for. Documents just released, however, show that Plame was removed from her overseas post 4 years earlier, after being outted by Democrate Dick Armitage. From then on, she had been told she could not be re-deployed because of her exposure, and she began just working (openly) at CIA Langly.
• In his OP-Ed piece, and in congress, Wilson claimed that during his trip he found NO truth the the claim that Iraq had sought nuclear material. However, in his report to the CIA (which was just declassified) Wilson reports that the former Prime Minister of Niger told Wilson that in 1999, a delegation from Iraq came to Niger to negotiate for uranium. And the Minister of Energy told Wilson that, around the same time, IRAN made direct inquiries about purchasing yellow-cake uranium. Yet Wilson now claims, no one ever told him anything about these countries trying to buy nuclear material.
• Plame's new book "My life as a Spy"...is a bit of a stretch, by all reviews of the work she talks about she did, she was an analyst, not an operative. Though she may have been covert (until outted by Armitage) she was not a field operative, and had no direct contact with CIA assets.

People are right though....crimes have been committed.....and here they are...

1. Richard Armitage (Dem) violated the national covert operative act and leaked Plame's name to the media in 2000, causing her to be recalled from from her overseas post. He should be arrested and charged for violating the covert agent act.
2. Joe Wilson, by his own admission, leaked classified information to the media. He should be arrested and charged for leaking classified information
3. Valarie Wilson lied to congress on (2) occasions about pushing the CIA to utilize her husband, she should be arrested and charged for purgery.
