Hypothetical Q: Do you think Joe Wilson is ALSO CIA?

[elehhhhna]

Can we explore this case from that angle, please?

The media hasn't asked that question, which leads me to believe, with all their blather, opining, etc., it's probably so.

Smarties, imaginative types, and tinfoilers, please weigh in.

1. CIA people can be ordered not to pick political fights with the Prez.

Like Goss did.

[afdip]

4. maybe he was ordered to pick a fight after the busheviks

ignored all the valid info.

[NNN0LHI]

2. We know he has worked for them in the past n/t

[goodhue]

3. not currently

perhaps in past

[kentuck]

5. Of course. How do you think his wife got her job?

Just kidding...sort of...:)

6. What like Brad Pitt and Angelina in Mr &. Mrs. Smith?

[leesa]

7. That would really be extra-deep cover as an ambassador.

[The Walrus]

8. I'm sure he had CIA clearance...

...as an Ambassador and Iraq Negotiator and Investigator.

So you could consider it a matter of degree whether he was or is CIA or not.

Is The President of the U.S. in the CIA? Not officially, but then again, he does not need to be (arguably). They are supposed to exist to serve his and the countries interest (although many would argue they often serve neither purpose).

Valerie Plame was supposedly a private citizen who worked in a private company. So it's actually revelatory if she was a CIA agent.

9. Hi The Walrus!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[many a good man]

10. Wilsons represent one side of civil war in the CIA

This is their retribution, at long last.

They weren't powerful enough to blow the lid on this in the middle of an election.

Other concerned elements have now joined them to excise the NeoCon cancer from our body politic.

11. I heard the same thing

from someone I know that is 'retired' (is there such a thing?) CIA.

12. Wouldn't Cheney have uncovered that as well?

He had sources in the State Dept. & CIA who told him about Valerie Plame. Wouldn't they have told him if Joe Wilson was also in the CIA? It seems plausible, but you'd think Rove/Libby would have also been out spreading that info if it were true.
