Over here we have a situation where an Ambassador named Wilson had a wife who worked for the C.I.A. in a sensitive position regarding national security. The Ambassador critised the Bush claim that the Iraqi's had weapons of mass destruction during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. He was in a position to know and told them the invasion was based on a false premise. In retaliation for his critiscism's the President leaked out to the public the name of his wife as a C.I.A. agent; putting her life and the lives of others in danger.
