Fair Game: Free agents

[EV_Ares]

Valerie Plame's CIA cover was blown after her ex-ambassador husband criticised the Iraq invasion. Joe Wilson talks to Stephen Moss about how the film Fair Game depicts their fight with the Bush administration



I expected to be less than diverted by Fair Game, an insidery tale of US politics, but it not only really grabbed me, it also, worryingly, made me want to join the CIA: all those square-jawed men in blue shirts strutting determinedly round their humming offices, the world's secrets locked in their bullet heads.

More on this film
The film draws on the book of the same name by Valerie Plame, who was in the CIA but is not a bullet-headed, square-jawed man. She is a glamorous blond woman, played by Naomi Watts, who worked at a senior level for the intelligence agency until, in 2003, the Bush administration decided to blow her cover to undermine her husband, Joe Wilson, a former US ambassador in Africa. Wilson had written an article in the New York Times rubbishing President Bush's claim in his state of the union address that Saddam Hussein had been trying to buy enriched uranium from Niger to produce nuclear weapons. The administration, desperate to change the story from the unravelling case for war, had decided Plame was "fair game".

1. They made a movie about manning awhile ago also.

Although that isn't true either.

Although if anyone thinks it is the CIA doing any of the stuff, they don't understand how it works.

What the CIA does, and much of PR, is give the presentation they are doing stuff that just happens.

Although I don't mind if they learn, if it helps them to be more just and compassionate, but don't join them because of some PR, although I am neutral about when they support me.

Although I think they are mostly out of there league on most of this stuff.

And they have not paid beer and travel money due either.

However many people in media, and in music and story are paid by PR groups including intelligence, but that is actually the problem, and part of the reason they are going to be taken down. Not to mention all the other terrible stuff they allowed.

Think about it, they can't even get the correction of beer and travel money right, so they are part of the group that will have to be dismantled. It makes sense.
