Doubts increase that the of outing Valerie Plame was a crime. John Batchelor, who hosts a talk radio program, was told on the air by General Paul Vallely that as early as 2002 Wilson boasted of Valerie, his "CIA desk officer" wife.
My colleague Major General Paul Vallely, USA (ret.), West Point '61, wrote me Wednesday morning last that he was disgusted with Joe Wilson on the television channels running down the President and boasting how his wife must be protected from Rove and Libby and their cohorts. Paul wrote me that Wilson had bragged of his wife the "CIA desk officer" to Paul and all other ears in the green room at Fox News in D.C. in the winter spring of 2002. Paul said Wilson was open and noisy about his wife - and that Paul's Agency and State and Army pals in D.C. often met the Wilsons at shindigs and so forth, where Joe Wilson was self-promoting and his wife, at his side, was not reticent to have Joe Wilson speak of her as a "CIA desk officer."
Paul told the same story to me on air on Wednesday, November 2, speaking to the nation, but especially right to the Washington audience on WMAL. No secret. No ambiguity. Joe Wilson called his wife a "CIA desk officer."
Apparently Joe heard the broadcast, because he wants to sue.
A demand letter was sent by Christopher Wolf, partner at Proskauer Rose LLP and counsel for Wilson, to both Vallely and WND tonight.
It disputes Vallely's claim that Wilson mentioned Valerie Plame's status with the CIA in conversations in 2002 in the Fox News Channel's "green room" in Washington as they waited to appear as analysts.
That little tidbit comes by way of AJ Strata.
