Pincus on Plame: Who Really Sent Joseph Wilson to Niger?
Walter Pincus has a new article in the Washington Post trying to connect the inconsistent dots about who selected Joseph Wilson for the Niger mission in 2002 - was it at Valerie Plame's suggestion or at the direction of higher ups at the CIA's Directorate of Operations counterproliferation division (CPD.)
The White House officials speaking with reporters in the days between June 6, 2003, when Wilson's op-ed appeared in the Times, and June 14, 2003, when Bob Novak's column came out, tell the same story: Valerie Plame suggested Wilson for the job. The CIA officials tell it differently.
