Uranium In Niger/Missing WWD In Iraq/C.I.A. Leak Story Is Back

Just when you thought it was safe to forget about that Times Op-Ed from four years ago, Valerie Wilson is back.

Her new book, Fair Game, was released today. Portions of the book, which chronicles her experience as an exposed C.I.A. agent, were censored by her former employer’s Publications Review Board. Like a very difficult blind item, those sections are included and blacked out in the new book.

Fair Game is currently number 23 on the Amazon Bestseller list. Unlike Jessica Seinfeld, who has the number one book on the list and is “[not] in this for the money or the publicity,” Wilson could use both the money and the publicity. Because of this scandal, she lost her job and has dealt with a smear campaign against her and husband for the past four years.

So here’s some dirt on the federal government:

Ms. Wilson describes being denied protection by the C.I.A., fearing for her children’s safety, finding out that her tax returns were being audited and having been lucky enough to discover that some bolts holding the Wilsons’ outdoor deck, high above the ground, had disappeared.

Even though the C.I.A. refused to protect her children and a government operative may have tried to create a terrible accident for her family, for some reason that tax audit seems like an especially nasty use of government power.

    It seems to me that the Plame's were the one's out to make the most of this. She used her position to get her husband involved in a political controversy. Play with fire and get burned. They were out to bust on GW. I don't trust people like this, with hidden agenda's.
