Malo konspiracije...ko voli
Godine 2003. bivši američki veleposlanik za afričke nacije i Irak,Joseph Wilson za New York Times je izjavio kako je Bushova administracija debelo pretjerala u prikazu prijetnje koju predstavlja Saddam Hussein s namjerom da opravda invaziju na Irak. Wilson je napisao kako ga je CIA,po nalogu potpredsjednika Dicka Cheneya, poslala u Republiku Niger gdje mu je zadatak pronaći 'čvrste dokaze' da su Iračani kupili uran od Nigeraca kako bi proizveli 'oružje za masovno uništenje'.Wilson se vratio praznih ruku i izjavio je da je 'bilo kakva transakcija tog tipa,potpuno sporna'.Nakon otvorene kritike koju je Wilson uputio američkoj administraciji,konzervativni novinar Robert Novak odgovorio je namjernim otkrivanjem identiteta tajne agentice Valerie Plame (NOC:non-official cover, CIA agent) što je pokrenulo sudski postupak koji je potresao američku javnost i US tajne službe.Krivica je pala na Lewisa Libbyja,mada on nije originalni izvor koji je informacije proslijedio Novaku.To je bio Richard Armitage,drugi čovjek State Departmenta.U 2006.godini,Plame i Wilson pokreću civilnu tužbu protiv potpredsjednika Dicka Cheneya,Libbya i predsjedničkog savjetnika Karla Rovea,optužujući ih da su glavni i odgovorni za zlonamjerno otkrivanje identiteta koji je "uništio karijeru" Valerie.Libby je poslužio kao privremeno žrtveno jagnje koji je namjerno prikrio originalni izvor 'pogrešnih informacija' koje su direktan povod invaziji Iraka i koje su stigle direktno iz Bijele kuće.Bush je upravo oprostio samome sebi.Tako je i Lewisu Libbyu oprostio zatvorsku kaznu, zasluženu zbog izdaje nacije,odnosno identiteta Valerie Plame.'Osjetio sam kako je kazna preteška i zato sam donio odluku da izmijenim presudu,ozbiljna novčana kazna (250 000 dolara) i uslovno pustanje ostaju'-rekao je...
