Plame Target All Along?

Wow. This one's a little out there. TPMCafe has the take. It answers the question: why didn't the administration just plant a bunch of fake WMD? According to Wayne Madsen, they tried. But Brewster Jennings (Plame's front company) intercepted the shipment. And that's what the retribution was about. $Q: According to U.S. intelligence sources, the White House exposure of Valerie Plame and her Brewster Jennings & Associates was intended to retaliate against the CIA's work in limiting the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. WMR has reported in the past on this aspect of the scandal. In addition to identifying the involvement of individuals in the White House who were close to key players in nuclear proliferation, the CIA Counter-Proliferation Division prevented the shipment of binary VX nerve gas from Turkey into Iraq in November 2002. The Brewster Jennings network in Turkey was able to intercept this shipment which was intended to be hidden in Iraq and later used as evidence that Saddam Hussein was in possession of weapons of mass destruction. U.S. intelligence sources revealed that this was a major reason the Bush White House targeted Plame and her network. Most of the background stories that have come out of the White House indicate a serious fixation on Wilson (his wife's name is only mentioned in the context of conversations about him). It's unlikely she was the primary target. On the other hand stranger things have happened.
