Wouldn’t It Be Funny…

…if Valerie Plame joined Scooter Libby in being convicted of perjury?

Three Republican senators are asking retired CIA employee Valerie Plame to explain what they call discrepancies in several accounts that she has given of her role in the decision to send her husband, former U.S. Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, to Niger in 2002 to investigate reports that Iraq was trying to buy uranium ore there.
“One area of inquiry, which now seems to be unresolved, is why [Mrs. Plame] provided different testimony to the CIA inspector general, [Senate intelligence] committee staff and the House Committee on Oversight and Reform,” they wrote in additional views to a Senate report about prewar intelligence on Iraq, published Friday.
The additional views were submitted by Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Vice Chairman Sen. Christopher S. Bond of Missouri, Sen. Orrin G. Hatch of Utah and Richard M. Burr of North Carolina.

It’s pretty clear to me that Plame is guilty of lying under oath, and it’s also pretty clear that Plame’s instance of lying is a lot worse than Libby’s was. Because Libby’s was a case of simply misremembering what was said to reporters in years previous. Plame has been lying to cover her ass and advance her political agenda.

    Val’s pretty hot isn’t she? I could care less about her “political agenda” but please, don’t let her “cover her ass”!

    I’m hoping the blogosphere will uncover it completely, and soon!

    One correction; Libby was convicted of “Lying to investigators,” which is a lessor crime than perjury.

    Plame’s perjury also satisfies Blackstone’s dictum that actual crime must involve intent. The same cannot be said for Libby (or for Martha Stewart for that matter).
