Clark comment: I recommend that anyone enamored of reorganization as a cure for the "problems" of U.S. intelligence read this monograph before they get too wedded to the concept.

Wilson, Joseph C., IV. The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies that Led to War and Betrayed My Wife's C.I.A. Identity -- A Diplomat's Memoir. New York: Carroll & Graf, 2004.
Reports about Ambassador Wilson's book include: David Johnston and Richard W. Stevenson, "Former Envoy Talks in Book About Source of C.I.A. Leak," New York Times, 30 Apr. 2004; and Susan Schmidt, "Book Names Iraqi in Alleged '99 Bid to Buy Uranium," Washington Post, 30 Apr. 2004, A16.
Thomas, Washington Post, 16 May 2004, comments that the first 300 pages of this book "is a worthy, occasionally entertaining, if overlong, chronicle of diplomatic service that would never have been widely published but for Wilson's involvement" in his wife's outing as a CIA operative. The section of the book that deals with the flap, the last 130 pages, "is repetitive and self-dramatizing" and "does not reveal much in the way of 'news.'"

The former star military attaché (and many other things) argues the importance of HUMINT in the broadest sense. "Useful human intelligence requires a substantial investment of time and resources. We must nurture and reward those motivated professionals willing to devote years to refining the uncommon ability to cross the barriers that divide the world's culture."

Members of the Iraqi National Congress (INC), the political organization headed by Ahmed Chalabi, "are suspected of providing information to Iran on U.S. troop positions in Iraq..., according to U.S. and Iraqi officials familiar with three investigations" into the group. On 20 May 2004, "Iraqi police, backed by U.S. soldiers, raided Chalabi's home" and the offices of the INC. "Until recently, the group received $335,000 a month from the Pentagon for help in gathering prewar intelligence about Hussein's government and in finding his top lieutenants after the invasion."

Wilson, Valerie Plame. Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House. New York: Simon & Schuster, 2007.
From publisher: The author "tells her story of a life as a spy, the career of a undercover agent and mother of twins and the sudden object of the White House's wrath."
Linzer, Washington Post, 20 Oct. 2007, notes that there were CIA-mandated redactions to Wilson'a book, which she "fought ... in federal district court and lost."
Cooperman, Washington Post, 22 Oct. 2007, comments that, "[t]o put it kindly, the memoir lacks the sheen of a ghostwriter's work and has the voice of an ordinary person caught up in extraordinary events. It doesn't help that the CIA redacted the manuscript heavily before approving it for publication.... The book is, however, greatly assisted by an afterword by Laura Rozen, a reporter for the American Prospect. Rozen ... fills in many of the censored dates, places and other details from published sources. Readers would be smart to turn to the afterword first, before tackling Wilson's disjointed narrative."

From Abstract: "Some commentators, offended by Bentley's failure to fulfil traditional gender prescriptions, ridiculed her and shed doubts upon her story, which received less serious consideration than Whittaker Chambers' similar tale. This article explores these criticisms, Bentley's attempts to counter them with her own public performances of traditional feminity, and, implicitly, gender's role in American Cold War politics."
