It Must Suck Being Joe Wilson Today
It’s a bummer when the truth bubbles to the surface…
Do you remember when Valerie Plame sent her husband Joe Wilson to Niger?
Although she denied it several times, Plame did indeed come up with the idea that her husband would be an ideal candidate to sort out the Niger/Iraq uranium sale question.

Notes: Niger/Iraq uranium meeting CIA 2/19/02
Meeting apparently convened by Valerie Wilson, a CIA WMD managerial type and the wife of Amb. Joe Wilson, with the idea that the agency and the larger USG could dispatch Joe to Niger to use his contacts there to sort out the Niger/Iraq uranium sale question. Joe went to Niger in late 1999 in regard to Niger’s uranium program, apparently with CIA support.
Valerie Plame sent Joe.
