Last night while working out I listened to a podcast from the National Constitutional Center which was recorded before the 2006 election. Many of the NCCs podcasts are interesting and informative. This one was not. Wilson used the forum to promote her book and to also promote her view of the world. Most political apologia are not worth the paper they are printed on - they turn out to one last shot to influence history. Plame's description of her part in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq was remarkably one sided. All of the questions were fawning. I would have loved to hear the following question:
"Ms. Plame-Wilson, notwithstanding your assertions about the sinister people in the Bush administration, would you comment on the assertion in Lawrence Wright's book The Looming Tower, that the CIA and most other US intelligence agencies generally missed the boat on the growth of Islamic terrorism?"
