Valerie Plame Committed Perjury Today. Will She be Prosecuted?

Question

"I did not recommend him. I did not suggest him. There was no nepotism involved. I did not have the authority," she said.

Proven lie.

The testimony of CIA officers directly contradicts Plame's statement.
(see Bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report).

The panel found that Wilson's report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts. And contrary to Wilson's assertions and even the government's previous statements, the CIA did not tell the White House it had qualms about the reliability of the Africa intelligence that made its way into 16 fateful words in President Bush's January 2003 State of the Union address.

Yesterday's report said that whether Iraq sought to buy lightly enriched "yellowcake" uranium from Niger is one of the few bits of prewar intelligence that remains an open question. Much of the rest of the intelligence suggesting a buildup of weapons of mass destruction was unfounded, the report said.

The report turns a harsh spotlight on what Wilson has said about his role in gathering prewar intelligence, most pointedly by asserting that his wife, CIA employee Valerie Plame, recommended him.

FROM THE REPORT:
Interviews and documents provided to the Committee indicate that his wife, a CPD employee, suggested his name for the trip. The CPD reports officer told Committee staff that the former ambassador’s wife “offered up his name” and a memorandum to the Deputy Chief of the CPD on February 12, 2002, from the former ambassador’s wife says, “my husband has good relations with both the PM [prime minister] and the former Minister of Mines (not to mention lots of French contacts), both of whom could possibly shed light on this sort of activity.” ...The former ambassador’s wife told Committee staff that when CPD decided it would like to send the former ambassador to Niger, she approached her husband on behalf of the CIA and told him “there’s this crazy report” on a purported deal for Niger to sell uranium to Iraq.

Washington Post:

"A bipartisan investigation by the Senate intelligence committee subsequently established that all of these claims were false -- and that Mr. Wilson was recommended for the Niger trip by Ms. Plame, his wife. When this fact, along with Ms. Plame's name, was disclosed in a column by Robert D. Novak, Mr. Wilson advanced yet another sensational charge: that his wife was a covert CIA operative and that senior White House officials had orchestrated the leak of her name to destroy her career and thus punish Mr. Wilson."

Answer 1

There had better be a investigation at the least. Lets use some common sense here. Of all the people in the world to do some fact finding, her husband is selected without her input, what are the chances.

Answer 2

OK Cheyney, your lying again.
Still trying to justify undermining the CIAs ability to fight the War on Terror.

Answer 3

The CIA makes the same claim. Are you going to slander them too?

Answer 4

Proven lie? Oh really? Then prove it.

**Did you bother to watch Cspan today? Perhaps you better read the transcript.

Answer 5

I seriously doubt she had the authority to send him there. If she did, why would she deny it? I believe she is the victim here.

Answer 6

Post a link please, I have not heard anything about perjury.
