Plame threatened with subpoena by GOP

From Raw Story:

As Democrats in the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform plow ahead with their investigation of the intelligence used by the Bush administration to build the case for the Iraq War, their Republican colleagues are attempting to up the ante. Last week, Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA), the ranking minority member of the committee, alleged that former covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson had given false testimony and prepared to threaten her with a subpoena.

"This is once again another frivolous attempt to go after Valerie Wilson, and distract from what's really at issue," said her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson through a spokesman.

The real issue is the exposure of Ms. Wilson's CIA covert identity which was classified information and confidential to reporters.

Just another way of changing the subject and trying to make Mrs. Wilson look like a liar. Again it wont work. This will only bring more attention to the lies told by Libby. This will also help the Wilson's civil suit.
