Talk:Plame affair

message: The section titled "background" and state of the union address" contains a report which ends with the passage "wilson presented his report" which was obviously added by someone with no grasp of the underlying facts here. Joe Wilson never filed any "report" concerning his trip to Niger, he gave a verbal debriefing in his home with CIA personnel, a portion of this information was used in a larger CIA report some months later which never reached the white house. there is no "Wilson" report and in fact his trip was not conclusive in any way on the yellowcake matter.

message: I realise this is a very complex topic that needs to be covered in detail, but this article is also very long - 178KB, last time I checked. That makes it quite awkward to read and edit. Could any of these sections be split out into separate articles, per WP:Summary style, to bring it more in line with our style guidelines? Robofish (talk) 00:21, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

message: * I saw the film yesterday originally in Germany. The page is informativ, but not telling what is happening in the film. Where is the Plot? I saw a mission to political corectness and a real bad story-lining, the script may be either. So the message should be democratic and the build up scences are just telling how dull or stupid are decisive politicals. Talking about tubes, dealing with plates and not even able to lead the possible construction of a bomb from unranic material.
Strategies doesn't exit, acting on overflowing not content media informations.
"Joe" Wilson asking, where he had been, who has sent him, means the democratic section of america

thread_title:  Yellowcake or Yellow Elephants?

message: Regarding the following:
:The suggestion that naming Plame as an agent is a serious crime first appeared in an article by David Corn published by The Nation on July 16, 2003, two days after Novak's column.
The citation for this links to David Corn at The Nation.  Now, it's ok to use the The Nation as a citation for facts contained in it, about the Plame affair, except that they can't be considered independent with regard to whether they were the first to make the suggestion.  Without such a source, we can only say they did make the suggestion when they did.  --Rob (talk) 06:56, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

message: There are factual errors and sloppy writing in this article and my attempt to correct them was reverted immediately by User:Capitalismojo.  Let me point out one crucial one.  In the Wikipedia article, as it stands now:
:In 2002, Plame recommended her husband, former diplomat Joseph C. Wilson, to the CIA for a mission to Niger to investigate claims that Iraq had arranged to purchase and import uranium from the country. Wilson initially bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts, but after President George W. Bush made the same claim during the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Wilson denied his initial pre-war assessment.
The statement that Joseph Wilson "bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts" of an Iraq/Niger Uranium deal references a Washington Post article by Susan Schmidt, who's past writing have been shown to spread false information.  In fact, from the Congressional report on pre-war intelligence from July 9, 2004 that is linked in this section, starting on page 44:
:First, the former ambassador described his finding to Committee staff [..] as refuting both the possibility that Niger could have sold uranium to Iraq and that Iraq approach Niger to purchase uranium.
The report states, without any ambiguity, that Joseph Wilson returned from his Niger trip stating that there was no evidence of a Iraq/Niger yellowcake deal, that such a deal could likely never take place, and that the documents that stated such were likely forged. This article is therefore factually wrong and must be fixed. It should also be noted in the report that Wilson's trip to Niger was not the only one conducted. Rabit (talk)
::The Washington Post is Reliable Source. Your belief that this author wrote incorrect information in other articles is irrelevant. I would note the "rescue: article you reference (and disparage) above has two Washington Post reporters on the byline, not one. The section is well ref'd. If you think the WaPo is not RS for this take your thoughts to WP:RSN. It is inappropriate to delete longstanding and well ref'd material without gaining consensus.
