“During her testimony Friday before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, former CIA employee Valerie Plame told how her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, came to travel to Niger to investigate claims Iraq had tried to buy uranium there.

It started in February 2002, Mrs. Wilson testified. “A young junior officer who worked for me came to me very concerned, very upset. She had just received a telephone call on her desk from someone, I don’t know who, in the Office of the Vice President, asking about this report of this alleged sale of yellowcake uranium from Niger to Iraq.”

It was not clear from Mrs. Wilson’s testimony why the junior officer was upset. But as the young officer told her story, Mrs. Wilson continued, an element of chance intruded. “As she was telling me what had just happened, someone passed by, another officer heard this. He knew that Joe had already — my husband — had already gone on some CIA missions previously to deal with other nuclear matters. And he suggested, ‘Well, why don’t we send Joe?’” That, Mrs. Wilson testified, was the beginning of her husband’s mission to Africa.

As Mrs. Wilson told her story, some members and staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee watched with great interest. As part of its probe into pre-war intelligence, the committee interviewed Valerie Plame Wilson for the portions of the committee’s report dealing with the Niger uranium matter. At that time, as now, the question of how the CIA chose Joseph Wilson for the Niger trip was a subject of great interest. But Missouri Republican Sen. Christopher Bond, vice chairman of the committee, says Mrs. Wilson did not tell the committee about the young junior officer, the call from the vice president’s office, or the passing CIA official who suggested Joseph Wilson’s name.

“Friday was the first time we have ever heard that story,” Sen. Bond said in a statement to National Review Sunday evening. “Obviously if we had, we would have included it in the report. If Ms. Wilson’s memory of events has improved and she would now like to change her testimony, I’m sure the committee staff would be happy to re-interview her.”

As I said before she did committ perjury as much she flat out lied she said she didn’t suggest liar Joe for the trip:

“In response to an inquiry from National Review Online Friday, Sen. Bond disputed Mrs. Wilson‚Äôs memory. ‚ÄúWe have‚Ķchecked the memorandum written by Ms. Wilson suggesting her husband to look into the Niger reporting,‚Äù Bond said in a statement. ‚ÄúI‚Ķstand by the Committee‚Äôs finding that this memorandum indicates Ms. Wilson did suggest her husband for a Niger inquiry. Because the quote [the portion of the memo quoted in the Senate report] obviously does not represent the entirety of the memorandum, I suggest that the House Government Reform Committee request and examine this memorandum themselves. I am confident that they will come to the same conclusion as our bipartisan membership did.‚Äù

In addition, Mrs. Wilson testified that a CIA reports officer, who the Senate committee says told investigators that Mrs. Wilson had ‚Äúoffered up‚Äù her husband‚Äôs name for the trip, later told her, Mrs. Wilson, that the committee had got it all wrong. ‚ÄúHe came to me almost with tears in his eyes,‚Äù she testified. ‚ÄúHe said his words have been twisted and distorted.‚Äù She testified that the reports officer wrote a memo to correct the record ‚Äî it is not clear to whom the memo was given ‚Äî but that the CIA would not let him speak to committee investigators a second time.”

I think it’s time to have her back before the intelligence committee to ask her “Are you sure?” before charging her with perjury.
