Plame testimony shifting?

| March 23, 2007

According to Rowan Scarborough of the DC Examiner, Valerie Plames recollection of events leading up to her husband, media whore Joe Wilson’s trip to Niger has changed;

“This is a whole new story,” the source told The Examiner.

A 2004 committee report quoted a CIA worker, whom it identified as a “reports officer,” as telling staff that Plame offered up her husband’s name. It also quoted from a memo Plame wrote recommending her husband for the trip.

“We have checked the transcript of the comments made to the committee by the former reports officer and I stand by the committee’s description of his comments,” said Sen. Christopher Bond, R-Mo., vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. “I stand by the findings of the committee’s report.”

Bond said he was willing to re-interview witnesses. Melvin Dubee, spokesman for committee chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said he has heard no such talk on the Democratic side.

Imagine that, Jay Rockefeller’s staff knows nothing about this, even though Rockefeller was in both meetings (2004 and 2007), too.
