To Whom It May Concern:
The Administration is not being truthful concerning Karl Rove's involvement in the outing of a covert undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame. He knowingly released the information to get back at Joe Wilson because Joe Wilson went to Niger at the request of the CIA and found no evidence to support the President's statement.
Wilson was introduced to his wife's superiors and ask to go to Niger to get intelligence on Iraq's purchase of yellow-cake. Joe Wilson found no evidence that Saddam had purchased or even tried to purchase any yellow-cake. When Mr. Wilson returned, he filed his findings with the proper authorities. When Mr. Wilson heard that Saddam had purchased yellow-cake in the President's State-Of -The-Union speech, Mr. Wilson felt compelled to set the record straight and tried to contact the Administration, but no one would contact him. Finally he went public in the New York Times Article and shortly thereafter, his wife's cover was revealed.
By outing Ms. Plame, Rove and others in this administration have undermined our national security and the CIA has lost a valuable undercover covert agent who was working on WMD's.
By their actions, they make us less safe.
Thank You;
