Valerie Plame Affair

In May 2007, Senator Kit Bond, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee asked Valerie Plame to explain differences in the various accounts Plame gave to investigators in the Plame Affair.

• Plame told the CIA's inspector general in 2003 or 2004 that she had suggested Wilson.

• Plame told Senate Intelligence Committee staffers in 2004 that she couldn't remember whether she had suggested Wilson.

• She told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in March that an unidentified person in Vice President Cheney's office asked a CIA colleague about the African uranium report in February 2002. A third officer, overhearing Plame and the colleague discussing this, suggested, "Well, why don't we send Joe?" Plame told the committee.
