DISQUS

Hey, Lady, I'm so glad you got the video. This is an enormously important story. Some of the details being overlooked are the exposing of Wilson's lies. He lied saying that VP sent him specifically to Niger. WRONG. His wife Valerie Plame told the CIA Joe Wilson would be GREAT at looking into the "ridiculous charge" that Iraq tried to procure yellowcake from Niger. So she asked him, he went. One of the things Novak commented on was that Joe Wilson was not the sort of person qualified to have gone there, and that was why he followed the case to find out who sent him.

Another of Wilson's lies were that Iraq did not seek to buy urnanium from Niger. FALSE. I've researched this extensively and going over the Senate reports, and the Nigerian PM told Wilson that Iraq had indeed contacted Niger and visited in hopes to get their hands on urnanium. Just because Niger turned down the request doesn't falsify the fact that Saddam sent a party to try. Wilson lied and we wasted a huge amount of money on investigations on who 'outed' Valerie Plame. He should have to reimburse the government.

It's interesting to point out that Wilson was in Baghdad just days before the start of the war in Iraq, in March 2003. Hmmm.....

The three sources who told Novak of Plame's identity were:

1) a still unidentified source, which Novak calls "my primary source", thought to be Richard Armitage. Armitage was the 13th United States Deputy Secretary of State from 2001 to 2005, and the second-in-command at the State Department.

2) Bill Harlow, the CIA public information officer who was Novak's CIA source for the column confirming Mrs. Wilson's identity.

3) Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame's husband, from Joe Wilson's entry in "Who's Who in America."
