lived in washington, dc. i've watched this company town at work off-duty politicians and members of the press sometimes gathering over dinners or drink just to trade gossip and share secrets because here information is the coin of the realm >> but >> in the early 2000s and the terrible wake of 911, some in the dc media got a little hello too cozy with the bush white house as it tried to make the case for going to war in iraq. and when the bush administration's cause for war started to unravel an explosive allegation became a federal investigation whether the white house sought to retaliate against a critic by disclosing the identity of a covert cia agents whose name was suddenly everywhere back in 2003. it

suddenly seemed as though everyone knew this woman's name, valerie plane rally, plain calorie playing, valerie plane. he's probably heard my name but valery claim is a name you and i were never supposed to know because she was a covert cia operative >> who's covered was blown by some of them most powerful people on the planet. >> my name and identity were carelessly and recklessly abused by senior government officials in both the white house and the state department so why would the us government exposed one of its own secret agents? well, to hear plane tell it, that's because her husband tried to blow the whistle on the white house's shaky justification for invading iraq. but that's just one version of the store and the whole truth is actually more illuminating. and in some ways, troubling. the story begins in the wake of 911 with

bush administration officials fearful that saddam hussein over iraq might have weapons of mass destruction >> saddam hussein is a homicidal dictator who is addicted to weapons of mass destruction. >> the only thing that would keep americans safe would be to invade iraq and take him out which said. and so we did within the year, one man's step forward with what he believed to be the truth ambassador joe wilson, valerie claims husband. wilson wrote an op-ed in the new york times claiming that the bush administration was relying on shaky intelligence assert that saddam was seeking uranium from africa because he was the guy who had been to niger to find out >> there was no reason to believe that the transaction that had been alleged in these documents that were later deemed to be forgeries had ever taken place or could have taken place and the bush white house did not appreciate that this claim that sets off a firestorm in washington a week after

wilson blew the whistle, columnist robert novak >> working on a tip from the bush administration, published an article, not only refuting wilson's claim but also suggesting that the trip you took, the niger was green-lit by low level cia operatives without the knowledge of higher-ups. >> the bush administration struck back by revealing the identity of his wife a cia operative, somebody deliberately blew her covered. >> so serious matter, not only do you put her at risk, but you also put the sources they have worked with over the years had considered when rescue the fallout from the whole debacle was massive, the equivalent of a scandal dirty bomb almost every senior white official had to testify. >> the law makes it illegal to knowingly and maliciously feel the identity of a covert agent. >> the preliminary inquiry had given way to a full blown criminal investigation that will of course focused on the president's inner circle. >> this story was incredibly

influential to my identity as a journalist. it was a reminder that the press must always challenge the people in power no matter how much public support those politicians may have in the lead up to the war are fragile system of checks and balances meant that instead of sounding the alarm, some in the fourth estate, to many of us joined the drumbeat for a war that resulted in the deaths of more than 100,000 iraqis and thousands of us troops. 1 that diminished trust in the news media kenya, and destroyed the cia career of one woman at the center of it all >> we good >> great >> were you concerned at all that the revealing of your name could put lives at risk, is that possible >> yes, it is possible absolutely. >> there's a reason that ops >> officers work undercover which is so that you can move

around the world. you can recruit, you can handle the assets without endangering them or their families the fact that a journalist knew my true cia affiliation or somehow was put onto it, whether it was confirmed or not, was deeply unsettling to me >> unsettling to also believe that being outed as a covert cia agent is the work of the government. you are risking your life to protect to take a step back for those of you who don't remember the bush years, let's remind you of the cast of characters here. president george w bush campaigned in the year 2000 as a compassionate conservative, decidedly not focused overseas the bush administration. understood itself to be a domestic policy administration prior to 911 there wasn't much of a foreign policy strategy in place. >> bush, of course, wanted to be taken seriously on the international stage, but just three years earlier, he

couldn't name the leaders of foreign powers who had nuclear weapons after 911. of course, all that changed the most powerful individual on this subject was vice president richard cheney, vice president dick cheney architect of a neo conservative foreign policy that reshaped the middle east and adding to his menacing public persona, drew comparisons to darth vader public image. he ultimately embraced >> we're going to talk about star wars. we might as well invite darth vader >> he had developed a reputation as kind of a very ceramic pithy, tough-guy if you provide sanctuary to terrorist, you face the full rank after the united states of america >> he was arguably the most powerful vip in history. then there were various secretaries and aids widely beloved secretary of state, colin powell and his close friend and deputy richard armitage. the tough guy secretary of defense, don rumsfeld and louis scooter,

libby affectionally referred to around the white house as dick cheney's dick cheney >> libby was chief of staff to the vice president. so he was a senior person helping keep the trains on i'm time. >> and finally, someone who always had president bush's ear, senior advisor to the president karl rove. >> karl rove was one of bush's top political people and media gurus. >> he was always colorful character. he will. but when you give him a chance, look at him both donor rapid wrapping aka role. >> it was a weird time, but ultimately this was a scandal that could not have happened without the news media. and of course, after months of us troops in iraq, still no serious stockpile of weapons of mass destruction it makes no sense, except if you look at it

from that place and time where the administration is in a little bit of a panic? no, wmd has been now, we've been told there's an imminent nuclear threat. the americans are kind of getting restless and they decided they would want to make an example of joe willis we'll soon and valerie plane to shut that down >> but is that actually what happened >> seven astronauts setting off on a scientific mission >> they were doing great i will check oh, you're nothing >> if you work in spaceflight, this is the worst possible thing i could ever happen >> space shuttle accident, it's usually not one thing is that the wing coming apart >> my dad died doing what he bought space shuttle columbia final flight and mirror sunday, april 7 at nih cnn, meet the traveling trio, a thrill seeker, the soul searcher. and

>> how did that >> affect your professional life >> again, everyone else can you knew immediately we were at war within days. the us sent troops to afghanistan to root out al-qaeda operatives responsible for 911. and so with the war on terror officially underway, president bush adopted a policy to combat any potential threats from around the world >> the bush >> doctrine of preemptive strikes hit them before they hit us george w bush had become convinced that the way to keep america safe from future terrorist, it's bread freedom, and the way to spread freedom in the middle east is to >> confront threats before they emerge. >> if we wait for threats to fully materialize we will have waited too long >> i personally supported sowing into afghanistan, routing the taliban. there's no question that was the root of what had happened with 911 but

sale, 500 tons of yellow cake uranium, which is used in the process to make highly enriched uranium from niger to iraq so my boss at the time asked me to go home and ask my husband ambassador joe wilson did come into the cia headquarters we're they could talk with him about this report and see if he might be willing to go to new jair to check it out further, wilson had trusted connections with the political elites of new share and obviously if there was any truth to these radioactive allegations, wilson would want and to alert the bush administration >> he flies back from new share. what happens? there is >> there's cia analysts there at the house to debrief them immediately because this information, it goes back to the office of the vice president they sit down in the living room. angel said luck this report about yellowcake uranium. this could never have happened. this is a totally

bogus report. here's who i spoke to here's what they know, and so forth. >> thank you very much, ambassador >> wilson, and they left and that was what the public hurting different message dictated by the white house information group headed up by karl rove, scooter, libby, national security adviser, condoleezza rice, and vice president dick cheney. their mission was to market and sell the iraq war, driving home the message of the president >> and to some who >> bought the message as supporting details stood out in that march 2002 cia intelligence report, based on wilson's visit to niger mentioning that wilson learned of an inquiry iraq had made about expanding commercial relations with niger, who's leading export was uranium but since there was no active deal, what was reported was that there wasn't much to it the ways in which the news media and the white house interact can be very inside baseball,

but it's crucial to understanding just how exactly this story unfolded. because i was not a member of the white house press corps at the time i turned to my old friend, matthew cooper, who was on the beat for time magazine in 2002, and ended up being caught in the eye of the storm. in some ways, i look back at the bush years and how there was not enough critical coverage of the case for war when the bush administration was making it. i don't think no press i think drop the ball at times. >> right >> way you have a white house correspondent other than reporting what the president does and trying to break stories, the gig is to have relationships, but it's to never forget what those relationships are for other in service of getting information to the reader. it's not about you making friends it's not about you feeling important. i mean, look, people in the white house noted that you're not there to be their friend, but sometimes it serves their interests to leak certain things washington dc is a company town. everyone is here

to participate in politics. knowing people and relationships is actually the key to journalism. >> you could be at a table at brunch and someone very powerful is sitting next to you and you can get a scoop dc is just that kind of talent. it never shuts off. the information is churning 24 hours >> and with a grief stricken nation fully supporting them after 911, the bush administration was headed towards war or in iraq. and the further their case they planted intelligence with new york times reporter judith miller, who along with matthew cooper from time magazine, was among the white house press corps. heavy hitters. scooter libby met with miller and september 2002 judith miller and writes an article in the new york times. it alleges that the iraqi government has quotes, sought to buy thousands of specialty designed aluminum tubes, which american officials believed were intended as components of centrifuges to enrich uranium. now, we later

find out scooter libby who is vice president cheney's chief of staff, told this to judith miller, right? yes. so you're you're at a point where it's a total echo chamber, right? >> the echo chamber works like this, but white house would leak opinions and information to select friendly journalists, those they had a strong relationship with those journalists would report that information sometimes without independently confirming it to be true. and then officials from the white house would go on tv insight those journalists as proof of their claims >> there's a store then york times this morning that in fact he has been seeking to acquire are the kinds of tubes that are necessary to build a centrifuge. and the centrifuges required to take low grade uranium and answered into highly enriched uranium, which is what you have to have in order to build a bomb. >> it works so well, they kept doing it. >> we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud. again, distinguished between al-qahera and sadar when he

centrifuges the whole cost of war suddenly seems rather suspect >> there's an understatement >> because as soon as us troops landed in iraq, it quickly became apparent that americans whereas safe from wmd in iraq, as the troops actively searching for them >> oh, weapons of mass destruction were found at far from being a quick victory iraq went up in sectarian play i remember this very well. i was writing for the web site salon.com and i was covering the way us service members were not finding weapons of mass destruction most americans and journalists seemed to take it for granted that wmd would eventually be found. but of course that's because none of us knew what joe wilson had been up to and watching the war proceed was just too much for joe much for joe so what did >> joe do from the state of the union? 2003 >> he turn this over every moment was like, look, i

>> know i went to new share. i investigated these reports that wasn't true he spoke to his former colleagues and the state department and he spoke to people up on the hill that this isn't right. >> i became an obsession >> yes. >> joe wilson was so upset that after months of stewing over bushes, false statement, he published an op-ed in the new york times refuting bush's state of the union address claim basically calling the president out as a liar, wilson thank here's the white house and manipulating the intelligence from niger to justify an invasion of iraq. >> new questions about the president's case against iraq with some of the base, i'm bad intelligence. >> so tell me about when you first read joe wilson's op-ed. >> it was really, i think ball galvanizing. he had a lot of credit because he had been a bush one ambassador. then all of a sudden that kind of wait, where the hell are the nuclear weapons? question was front and center

>> all hell broke loose. did the administration and mislead us on weapons of mass destruction? >> the british government has learned to saddam hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from africa >> and wilson refuting those 16 words cause the white as to retreat from the statement faster than you could say freedom fries. >> no one now what we did not know at the time of the state of the union and the president in retrospect, were not have included that remark in the state of the union speech, as you know, can expect the president to know every detail about every phrase and such a long complex address. unless of course, you go to the most unlikely of sources, the white house's own website which displays a picture of the president, quote reviewing the state of the union address line by line, word by word, behind the scenes, vice president cheney strongly oppose the white house taking it back >> the british >> after all, were standing by their intelligence >> your husband, he made his point. the white house conceded

>> but whatever >> happens to me happens to me, it's part of the deal, but my children and that was absolutely horrifying >> you are outed as a cia operative, undercover and all sorts of countries can then go back and look at cia sources that are in their own governments, in their own countries and potentially even in torture or kill them. >> exactly. this is horrifying. it pains me to think that i even inadvertently would put anyone in danger >> it is really, truly despicable. i a public servant is wasting his time attacking my family with valerie being the talk of the town, wilson and playing wanted justice. >> wilson says the leak was payback for his criticism of the administration's iraq policy. >> i would hope that an investigation would yield the information as to who was responsible for the precise leak the cia was, in fact, very upset about what happened and they ultimately asked the

justice department and to do an investigation, but justice department has launched an inquiry into who gave a nationally syndicated columnist the name of a cia age. >> if there's a leak out of my administration, i wanted but yes, if the person has violated laws of personal be taken care of the justice department began an investigation into the leak in september 2003, the first journalist to have reported her name was novak, obviously, so the prosecutor, patrick fitzgerald, summoned to novak for a private meeting the public did not learn about this for years, but it turns out that the late robert novak, the all prince of darkness, immediately revealed his confidential sources. >> patrick fitzgerald knew that army, which was the lake, because in the first secret interrogation of me and for sterile, indicated he knew the identity of not only my primary source, but my secondary source of my tertiary source >> deputy secretary of state richard armitage had apparently inadvertently leaked to play identity and karl rove, to his

surprise, became novak's second source. based only on what he remembers telling novak, quote, i heard that too. it came originally from the state department the leak. >> well, what we now know is that there were actually multiple points. >> there are multiple points of leak. we know that it was richard armitage who was the deputy secretary of state, correct? >> and with that much internal chatter about the op-ed valerie planes named found its way to journalists, including judith miller in matthew cooper cooper published an article in time saying government officials had revealed to him valerie name miller, didn't publish anything. the justice department subpoena them both to testify about who their sources were. >> they want to know who your sources work. >> it was clear that that's what they were interested and you wouldn't tell them? >> i wouldn't tell them >> and judith miller was in jail? yeah. she was found in contempt and she did go to jail it is a sad time when to

journalists faced the prospect of going to prison for keeping >> those confidences cooper narrowly avoided jail time when his source, karl rove, granted cooper permission to reveal his identity. if it's gerald's grand jury. >> and you heard valerie >> planes name from i heard from a couple what pete bought credit from karl rove did an inch form from scooter libby vice president's chief of staff >> you ever called rove and he's like wilson's wife's all cia and carlos >> right. but you totally can't tell anyone. i told you amount was and calls all you double seek her wound. >> and that was >> i totally super secret double steeper, steeper won't tell by this point so many bush officials have been identified as leakers. it seemed easier to ask who was not involved? finger-pointing was everywhere. joe wilson earned iyer within the white house for what he was saying, such as at a forum in seattle. when he said, quote,

wouldn't it be funny to see karl rove frog marched out of the white house in handcuffs, but as for who actually got in trouble for the league, only one member of the information taskforce took the fall. lewis scooter, libby, the vice president's right-hand man to actually testified that he first heard the name from late nbc washington bureau chief tim roster when he said did you know that a bachelor wilson's right. works at the in i was a little taken aback by that. and i no, i don't know that a restaurant disputed that. >> and >> fitzgerald charged libby with perjury. >> the indictment charges libby with one count of obstruction of justice, two counts of false statements to fbi agents, and two counts of perjury i wish fitzgerald had been able to convict more because clearly there was a conspiracy and there was a >> law that passed under reagan

making it a crime to out intelligence operatives. >> that's correct. it's called the intelligence identities protection act unfortunately, the bar is pretty high to be able to prove that someone did it knowingly. and this is what special prosecutor fitzgerald was up against to try to prove prove that any of them had my identity revealed for the far east purposes. >> for me, was when i found this out, i felt like they were passing out my name like candy. are you kidding me whether you know, my covert status or not, you just don't do that so do that and armitage should have known better >> what's weird is it oriented kind of escapes this whole thing with his reputation intact, do anything? yeah, you guys >> i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i did that. >> i feel terrible every day. i think i went down the president, i'll let down the sector of state. i let down by department, my family, and i also let down mr.. mr. others should have been held

an ambassador to answer a question do we ordinarily send people out pro bono to work for us? or did his wife sent him on a junk? >> bush white >> house supporters note that patrick fitzgerald never charged anyone, but living never proved to conspiracy and never proved that anyone knew claim was covert. but it is closing arguments at libby sentencing. fitzgerald stated, quote, there is a cloud over what the vice president did that week. >> we >> didn't put that now there. that cloud remains because the defendant has obstructed justice lied about what happened >> las vegas wouldn't be here if it wasn't in constant state of evolution. >> he really get inaugurated a new hero for the peaks jr.'s. why did it get >> vegas? the story of sensitive? next on cnn >> meet the traveling trio each helping to protect their money with taste tools that help protect alerts that helped

think ultimately it just cuts so deeply. >> hoping to prevent future leaks. congress called the hearing on whether white house officials followed protocol for protecting valerie planes identity we in the cia always know that we might be exposed and threatened by foreign enemies. it was a terrible irony that administration officials were the ones who destroyed my how to destroyed my cover leaving >> her with well a lot of shock and all >> ultimately, we were sort of a template for what we see today in terms of distortion and disinformation and the involvement in the media unwittingly or not >> as the wilson plane brahma ended on the domestic front, the cost on the international stage of the wmd issue was much harsher with an entire region paying a much deadlier price because of a war, many americans would come to view as

a mistake suppose a war that ended up with tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dead, innocent iraqis complete destabilization of iraq thousands of american dead service members wounded, service members, service members who went on to take their own lives. they thought they were doing the result of it is hard to justify >> we're not just talking about an abstract things who is right, who is wrong? there's good, who is bad. this had real consequences and so this is the rare scandal that really mattered >> one year into the war, it was finally dawning on the bush administration. the gravity of its actions >> so tonight i'm going to do one of my slide shows those weapons of mass destruction got to be somewhere >> i'm kidding. obviously that didn't happen

>> nope, no weapons over there i vividly remember sitting in that very room in credulous people were dead or wounded because of this hunt for wmd this wasn't funny. it made me sick >> and a whole room full of news >> media was all in on the so-called joe joke that had a body count what is this about is it a bout media being to show with politicians? is it about & administration's so? blinded by their desire to go to war and justify it, that they're willing to do anything. >> if the old adage show >> you the first casualty of war is the truth. >> it's really true here >> i mean, they did want to extend their prefabrication. they're lying, however you want to put it about the war the through another means, but it's also about a culture of the press that's not always

responsible. bus found the administration on the administration side and the press side >> so many people in the media we're taking the bush administration's words at face value, >> totally. >> everybody has to do a hard look at themselves afterwards >> looking back at this scandal, i am struck by the fact that the real source of the leak was dick armitage someone who seem to have just gotten caught up in gaza in an incestuous gab fast with a columnist with an agenda and then my focus, it turns to us maybe in the plane affair we in the news media found it convenient narrative to go after the bush administration because we did not push back enough on its defense of faulty intelligence. the first time disinformation is rampant, trust in the media is the lowest. it's ever been. >> if >> we encounter an event that unites the country is feverishly as september 11, 2001 did well that's when we'll see how much we've actually

learned and what about president bush recently he spoke against vladimir putin's barbaric invasion of ukraine, which putin justified by citing bushes, iraq war. and while the comparison differs in many key ways putin was not the only one with iraq on his mind. >> the result is an absence of checks and balances in russia. and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of iraq. i mean, ukraine >> all right. anyway one of the most uncomfortable freudian slips
