When he responds to you, I suspect it will be the same nonsense he gave me earlier. You can check out my response here to see what will be coming.

My name and identity were carelessly and recklessly abused by senior government officials in both the White House and the State Department," Ms. Wilson testified

If she wants to claim that, fine. But the facts are that it was the CIA who had her come to work everyday at Langley, and the CIA who, according to the Boston Globe, did an extremely poor job of providng cover for the fictitious company that was part of her cover.

But the real stake in the heart of this story is that her husband wrote the now infamous and inaccurate NYT article of 7/6/03. Again, if she wants to claim she didn't know that this article would focus press and government attention on him and his wife, she can. But that is totally not believeable coming from such an intelligent and experienced person. She had to know he was writing it and she had to know it would bring attention on her. I can speak only for me, but if I had been in her shoes and if I were covert and NOC, I would have said, "Don't do that. It will likely get me outed and destroy my career."

When we add the story of how someone, as unidentifed as the trips she caims to have taken, just happened to overhear her conversation with a junior employee seeking advice on the VP's office's request and recommend her husband... well, that just adds icing to a funny story.

As to the law, I again note that the meaning of words within a law are important, debated, discussed and viewed with interest. "Served" is inexact, but common usuage tell us that it is not meant to be a short business trip.

To that point, I seem to remember a fair amount of discussion of the meaning of the word "Militia" in one of our better known laws.

And I note that she has not given us any details on these trips. Surely she could give us the number and time spent. That she doesn't, considering all of the unusual happenings above in this matter, raises questions that need answering.
