Valerie Plame Still Wants to Know ... By Jason Leopold t r u t h o u t | Report Tuesday 13 November 2007 Former covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson would still like to know the identity of the CIA official who passed her name to the office of Vice President Dick Cheney in the spring of 2003, and 'under what circumstances.' That's just one of several unanswered questions Plame Wilson has been trying to figure out in the years since several senior officials in the Bush administration leaked her name to syndicated columnist Robert Novak and a handful of other journalists. That leak ended her two-decade CIA career. 'I'd like to know, why did Novak go with my maiden name, Plame, in his original article?' Plame Wilson said during an hour-long, two-part interview with Truthout. 'I always thought that was strange. When I married, I took my married name. And then he [Novak] used Valerie Plame [in his column]. It was only the CIA who knew that I worked for them, and my maiden name.' Plame Wilson is promoting her book, 'Fair Game,' a memoir she wrote about the leak, her job as an intelligence operative working on counterproliferation issues, and the fallout that ensued when she became a public figure after her identity and CIA status were published in newspapers and magazines. Her book landed on The New York Times bestseller list two weeks ago and has more than 350,000 copies in print. Perhaps the most important question yet to be answered for Plame Wilson is whether President Bush had prior knowledge about the leak of her identity. "I'd love to know, what did President Bush know about all of this?" Plame Wilson said. Jason Leopold is senior editor and reporter for Truthout. He received a Project Censored award in 2007 for his story on Halliburton's work in Iran.

I want to make a comment about something that angers me almost as much as GW's complete disregard for Mrs. Wilson and her family, the fact that after 20 years of brave, patriotic service to this country the CIA just blew her off on her protection request. I am so disgusted with this group of brownshirts as Mr. Wilson aptly stated.
Thank You Mrs. Wilson for your service to me and this country
Thats your government. The greatest organized crime family in the world is the US government. These criminals pardon their own and destroy anything in their way. I love america I hate the fucking criminals that run this country.
I remember watching her testify in front of the house with Rep. Waxman as chair. Mrs. Wilson was so impressive, focused and sharp as a tack, even when that complete as*hole Rep.Davis asked her if she was a democrate and then had the nerve so say it was her and the CIA's fault for the vile acts of Rove and company. It was good to see her talk about it in a calmer setting
Something's been fishy -- and it's clear from your own questions of Valerie Plame that perhaps your own suspicion is that some quid pro quo deal was struck at last minute between Rove and Fitzgerald. ... I am really happy to see this followup set of interviews. Ms. Plame is very comfortable talking to you, and given you also extracted helpful information from Joe Wilson, it seems clear they trust you.
