Another partisan hack.

Wouldn't you support the opponent of the bastard who outed your wife? I know I would. Notice he backed Kerry *after* Novak's article.

Curious, then. He gave a good amount of money to the Gore campaign.

He's just a puppet in the hands of Dean, Hillary, and the rest.

Did you happen to look at your link, or did you just copy it from some right-wing blog? The reason I ask is that if you look at the table, you'll find Wilson also gave $1,000 to George W. Bush in 2000 (Bush was a Republican, by the way). Wilson also donated $500 to Ed Royce, a Republican congressional candidate, and gave another $1,000 to Royce over the next two years.

Curious that the Bushies attacking Wilson always seem to miss this.

Your statement is just as true as the one below since Ambassador Wilson gave $1,000 to both candidates in 2000.

Curious, then. He gave a good amount of money to the Bush campaign.

He's just a puppet in the hands of Rove, Mehlman, and the rest.

Yes, the OP article is old news and it's based upon a smear attempt that made it into the Senate Intelligence Committee report.

Wilson has addressed that and debunked all of their assertions.

I suppose anything that isn't printed today is old news, but where's the link that shows Wilson addressing those points and debunking them?

And why/how are we supposed to believe him? Does that mean WaPo is lying?

Wilson addresses it in his book, citing factual information refuting some of the Senate SCI claims. As I understand it, the most egregious claims were not the bipartisan product of the committee as a whole, but were in a three-page addendum authored solely by committee Republicans.

In The Politics of Truth, former ambassador Joseph Wilson writes that he and his future wife both returned from overseas assignments in June 1997. Neither spouse, a reading of the book indicates, was again stationed overseas. They appear to have remained in Washington, D.C., where they married and became parents of twins.

D'oh! Looks like Finger has been hung out to dry.

Of course, he's really just jabberjawing to avoid providing proof of the questions I've asked him.

So run finger. RUN!

Nice red herring (or "diversion" for certain simple-minded Bushies who can't handle that term). As you well know, Plame didn't have to be "stationed" overseas to have performed assignments overseas. One can only question why you constantly resort to such dishonest dodges if you truly had any conviction about your claims.

That assumes your analysis of Wilson's book is accurate. Given your past butchering of other articles, it wouldn't surprise any of us if you're making this up as well. Don't suppose you'd care to link to the appropriate material from the book, e.g., from a reputable newspaper or magazine article (not your Free Republic trash)?

Chicken is "mistaken" again.

There is nothing in Wilson's book suggesting his wife had no further overseas or covert assignments after they were married and moved back to D.C. In fact, he does not talk at all about the kinds of assignments she worked on during that period. Wilson barely mentions her (except for their romance) until the White House exposed her. In short, this is just another BushCo propaganda point, more disinformation to draw attention away from shameful, possibly criminal behavior.

Don't bother Bow. This latest batch of YABA's is just like the old batch. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if this type of behavior is typical for the right.

Looks like it. Once upon a time, there were a few Bush supporters here who could actually form cogent arguments, ask intelligent, thought-provoking questions, and even reply to actual points raised with something other than straw men and diversions. I didn't usually agree with them, but at least one could have a meaningful debate. Whatever happened to them?

Bull. Your link is mistaken, speculating about information not actually in the book ... just like you. I not only read the book, I own a copy. There's nothing there about what Plame did once they moved back to the U.S. (and before Novak attacked). This is a perfect opportunity to prove me wrong. Provide quotes from the book supporting your claim. You can't because they aren't there. If your quotes are in it, I will gracefully acknowledge my error and apologize (something you'll never have the integrity to do).

In short, put up or slink back under your rock. I'm betting you'll either reply with your usual empty noise, or you'll run away entirely. What you won't do is provide a quote that proves your case. Why? Because you can't. It's just another of your lies.

Plame's Identity Marked As Secret
Memo Central to Probe Of Leak Was Written By State Dept. Analyst

A classified State Department memorandum central to a federal leak investigation contained information about CIA officer Valerie Plame in a paragraph marked "(S)" for secret, a clear indication that any Bush administration official who read it should have been aware the information was classified, according to current and former government officials.

Plame -- who is referred to by her married name, Valerie Wilson, in the memo -- is mentioned in the second paragraph of the three-page document, which was written on June 10, 2003, by an analyst in the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), according to a source who described the memo to The Washington Post.

The paragraph identifying her as the wife of former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV was clearly marked to show that it contained classified material at the "secret" level, two sources said. The CIA classifies as "secret" the names of officers whose identities are covert, according to former senior agency officials.

Anyone reading that paragraph should have been aware that it contained secret information, though that designation was not specifically attached to Plame's name and did not describe her status as covert, the sources said. It is a federal crime, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, for a federal official to knowingly disclose the identity of a covert CIA official if the person knows the government is trying to keep it secret.

Plame -- who is referred to by her married name, Valerie Wilson, in the memo -- is mentioned in the second paragraph of the three-page document, which was written on June 10, 2003, by an analyst in the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), according to a source who described the memo to The Washington Post.

The paragraph identifying her as the wife of former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV was clearly marked to show that it contained classified material at the "secret" level, two sources said. The CIA classifies as "secret" the names of officers whose identities are covert, according to former senior agency officials.

Anyone reading that paragraph should have been aware that it contained secret information, though that designation was not specifically attached to Plame's name and did not describe her status as covert, the sources said. It is a federal crime, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, for a federal official to knowingly disclose the identity of a covert CIA official if the person knows the government is trying to keep it secret.
