Valarie Plame tells her side of the story on the incredibly unbiased Huffington Post (yes that is sarcasm). 

Finally Telling My Story

I’m Valerie Plame Wilson and I’m excited to be here and blog about my book Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House, which goes on sale Monday, Oct 22. When my publisher sent me thee finished copy earlier this week, it was thrilling. It felt liker a new chapter (forgive the pun) has begun on the journey that has taken some incredible twists and turns since July 14, 2003, when my covert identity was exposed and ended a career that I loved. I’ve written honestly about my life: why I went to work for the CIA, my paramilitary training, the sort of operations we developed and ran to find intelligence on Iraq’s alleged WMD programs in the run up to the war, as well as  personal information, such as my battle with postpartum depression and the difficulties I had going from a private to a public persona literally overnight. My publisher, Simon and Schuster, decided to print the blacked out redactions demanded by the CIA and hopefully those passages (or lack thereof) speak for themselves and th he extent to which the CIA thought the material in  the book was classified.

I will stop here say only this.  If she says anyone outed her other then her husband, she is lying.

Heh.

Tell us news, not history.

Here’s an MP3 of Richard Armitage telling Bob Woodward that Joe Wilson told everybody about Valerie Plame.

Also, read this interesting and valid point from protein wisdom commenter proudvastrightwingconspirator:

It’s interesting to ponder how this drama would have played out if instead of being a critic of the Bush Administration, Joe Wilson had written an editorial for the NYT that contained damning information about, say, Bill Clinton’s lack of interest in capturing Bin Laden during his tenure as POTUS, and was later proven to have lied by a bi-partisan Senate Intelligence Committee review of his allegations. Further assume that his wife, a CIA employee was “outed” by one of the many Clinton synchophants in the media.

Would there even bee a Senate hearing about his wife’s identity being revealed? Would Joe and Valerie be the toast of the DC cocktail circuit with book deals in hand? Or would Joe be getting the Linda Tripp/Ken Starr treatment from the mainstream media? To what great lengths would the NYT and major networks go to define and clarify his every lie and misrepresentation? And how snarky would the coverage be of his too-pretty wife and her absurd allegations of her own self-importance within the CIA?

This whole thing just reeks of media bias and lies by ommission.

Sorta like the phony “outrage” over the firing of eight Federal Attorney’s, or the lack of any outrage (or media focus on) Sandy Berger’s document thefts, William “Cold-Cash” Jefferson’s bribe money or the fact that the Nancy Pelosi’s hand-picked Democrat Chairman of House Intelligence Committee doesn’t know a Shiite from Shinola.

The Washington Times also notes that Valerie Plame’s name was published before Novak’s column.

It was also in the 1999 edition of Who’s Who?. Proof?

Either Plame is outright lying about her “status,” or is too stupid and incompetent to know what her status even was. Fitz didn’t find anything to prosecute there, and Armitage would’ve been prosecuted as the leaker if he had.

Period.  End of discussion.  She can whine about the Whitehouse till the cows come home, but it will still be a lie.

She has gone from a spy who supposedly loved her work, to a woman who allowed nepotism to color her impartiality about national security, to a partisan narcissistic media whore.

A pox on her and her lying husband.  They will get rich on their lies.  I hope its worth it.
