White House leak damaged CIA counter-proliferation network that even adversely affected a member of Congress.

July 14, 2006 -- Ambassador Joseph Wilson and his wife, former covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, spoke at a press conference this morning on their filing yesterday in the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC of a eight count, 23-page civil complaint against Vice President Dick Cheney, presidential adviser Karl Rove, indicted Cheney former Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and ten unidentified White House officials and political operatives identified as "John Doe" defendants.

The Wilsons contend in their suit that senior Bush administration officials conducted a secret whispering campaign to discredit and "punish" Wilson and also leaked the classified CIA employment of Valerie Plame Wilson. The Wilson defense team decided to file the suit a day before the statute of limitations would expire from the three year anniversary of columnist Robert Novak's original column that leaked the name of Mrs. Wilson and her Brewster Jennings & Associates non-official cover company.

White House leak damaged CIA counter-proliferation network that even adversely affected a member of Congress.

In a short statement, Mrs. Wilson said she and her former CIA colleagues trusted the government and "administration officials betrayed that trust." Christopher Wolf, the Wilsons' chief attorney, said that after today's press conference his clients will not be available to the media.

After Mrs. Wilson's name and identity of her cover company were revealed by the White House to the media, at least one CIA non-official cover agent monitoring Iran's nuclear weapons program was tortured and executed, according to our intelligence sources. In addition, WMR has learned that covert Iranian backchannels employed by a current member of the U.S. House of Representatives in support of Plame's Brewster Jennings & Associates network were thoroughly compromised by the White House leak. The member of Congress, who, like Plame, had been an earlier CIA "non-official cover (NOC) energy consultant" in the Middle East during the late 1970s and early 80s, and who was familiar with the early weapons of mass destruction proliferation involving the A. Q. Khan network of Pakistan, Libya, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, was compromised and he and his connections to the Brewster Jennings & Associates intelligence network and Iranian government contacts were made known to adversarial intelligence agencies. The staff of the member whose covert Iranian contact network was compromised was targeted and tainted with Jack Abramoff money, putting the U.S. Representative in extreme political jeopardy. >>>cont Press Statements.
