>> so the story has a happy ending. this story has a great ending. yeah life has been a lesson in walking. >> the walk, he is a model example of a politician turning a political downfall fall into an opportunity for reinvention so it seems like mcgreevey has learned a lesson but have we, when he resigned, we focused on the gay affair, not the corruption allegations. and that obsession with sex scandals, with the private lives of our politicians over the public good or over the harm they can cause. that is still alive and kicking and when the next scandal arrives the heartache might

>> in the 30 or so years i've lived in washington, d.c. i've watched this company town at work off-duty politicians and members of the press sometimes gathering over dinners or drinks to trade gas up and share secrets because here, information is the coin of the realm but the early 2000s and the terrible wake of 9-11, some in the dc media got a little too cozy with the bush white house as it tried to make the case for going to war in iraq. when the bush administration's cause for war started to unravel an explosive allegation became a federal investigation into whether the white house sought to retaliate against a critic by disclosing the identity of a covert cia age whose name was suddenly everywhere

seemed as though everyone knew this woman's name, valerie plame. >> valerie plame. >> valerie plame. valerie plame. >> he's probably heard my name but valerie plame is a name. >> you and i were never supposed to know because she was a covert cia whose cover was blown by some of the most powerful people on the planet. >> my name and identity were carelessly recklessly abused by senior government officials in both the white house and the state department. >> so why would the u.s. 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 9-11, with bush administration officials fearful that saddam hussein of 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 we did within the year, one man step forward with what he believed to be the truth ambassador joe wilson, valerie plame, husband. wilson wrote an op-ed in the new york times claiming that the bush administration was relying on shaky intelligence to assert that saddam was seeking uranium from africa as he was the guy who had been tunisia where to find down. >> there was no reason to believe that the transaction that had been alleged in these documents that we're later deemed to be forgeries had ever

taken place or could have taken place and the bush white house did not appreciate that its 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 he took, the genre was greenlit 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 cover so serious matter, not only do you put her at risk, but you also click the sources they have worked with over the years. i considerable risks. >> the fallout from the whole debacle was massive. the equivalent of a scandal dirty bomb, almost every senior white house official had to testify. >> the law makes it illegal to knowingly and maliciously reveal the identity of a covert

agent of the preliminary inquiry had given way to a full blown on 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 leadup 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 one that diminished trust in the news media 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? as 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 to it, whether it was confirmed or not, was deeply unsettling to me on selling 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 resident georgia yes. w bush campaign 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 the foreign policy

strategy in place. bush, of course it's want it 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 individuals on this subject was vice president richard cheney, vice-president day dick cheney, architect of a neoconservative 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 long as darth vader he had developed a reputation as kind of a very service, pithy, tough-guy. >> if you provide sanctuary to terrorists to face their full wrath of the united states of america he was arguably the most powerful vip in history then there were various secretaries and a widely beloved secretary of state,

colin powell and his close friend and deputy richard armitage the tough guy secretary of defense, don rumsfeld and lewis 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 senior person helping keep the trains on time. >> and finally, someone who always had president bush's ear, senior adviser the president karl rove. >> karl rove was one of pushes top political people and media gurus. >> he was always but when you give him a chance look at him, don't 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 had been found it makes no sense, except if you look at it from that place in time where the administration is in a little bit of a panic. no. wmd has been found. 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 wilson and valerie plame to shut that down. >> but is that actually what happened wracking the whole country is on the edge of their seats. >> unprecedented. >> this race could not be any closer an election like no other. and it all comes down to we could now make a major projection of election night in america from the first votes to the critical counts. >> a lot of us thought that would come down to this the way only cnn can bring it to you election night in america, special coverage begins

towers of the world trade center. at this point, we do not have official injury updates to bring you 911 happens. >> how did that affect your professional wife and everyone else? >> it you knew immediately? we were at war within days, the u.s. 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 attacks is to spread freedom. >> and the way to spread freedom in the middle the least, mr. confront threats before they emerged. >> if we wait for threats to fully materialize we will have waited too long i personally supported us going into

afghanistan, routing the taliban. >> there's no question that was the root of what had happened with 911 but there were still smoke coming off the world trade towers when it camp david rumsfeld is unfolding maps of iraq, saying, no, here we have some real targets to 30 years. >> i've been saying publicly what people are say and turns out i have enough money. i could just shut up tomorrow at nine on cnn we were the first music publisher, pioneering music bright's and music publishing rights in the middle east you run his passionate about the mission of police all right, yeah. he is, built by artists for artists like to 54 behind us. >> you've got infrastructure here. i'll be gabonese, a

why push wanted to go to stop a potential threat to spread democracy in the middle east to end the reign of a leader who supported terrorism to exact revenge for saddam trying to kill his dad, president george hw bush. and on, and on and yet, even though trace elements were ultimately we detected, it was nothing on the scale of ready to use stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. >> at this point, the white house is trying to build consensus around the fact that iraq has weapons of mass destruction let us flash to 2002 after 911 there is this determination to not only go after al-qaeda but to make sure that any other potential threat is not able to hit the united states. that's right. i don't think the country had quite yet realized that we were already pivoting toward a rock a younger junior analysts received the phone call from

the office of the vice president, and they wanted to know about this report that was circulating and the intelligence community at that time about this tremendous sale, 500 tons of yellowcake 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 asked my husband ambassador joe wilson did come into the cia headquarters were 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 to alert the bush administration he flies back from new share. what happens? >> 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 and you said, look,

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 but the public heard 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 is supporting detail stood out in that march 2002 cia intelligence report, based on wilson's visit to new share mentioning that wilson learned of an inquiry or iraq kid 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 dropped the ball at times. right? >> what is the gag of a white house correspondent other than reporting on what the president does and trying to break stories, the gig is to have relationships, but it's to never forget what those relationships or for there in service of getting information to the reader, it's not about you making friends or it's not about you feeling important i mean, look, people in the water it has noted that you're not there to be their friend but

sometimes it serves their interests to leak certain things washington, d.c. >> is a company town. everyone is here to participate in politics. knowing people in relationships is actually the key to journalism. >> you could be at a table, at brunch and someone very powerful is sitting next 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 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 in writes an article in the new york times, it alleges that the iraqi government has quote, sought to buy thousands of specialty designed aluminum

tubes, which american officials believe we're 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 worked like this. the 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 inside those journalists. as proof of their claims there's a story that new york times this morning that in fact, he has been thinking to acquire the kinds of tubes that are necessary to build a centrifuge. >> and the centrifuges required to take low grade uranium and enhance it into highly enriched iranian, which is what you have to have in order to build a

bomb. >> it worked so well, they kept doing it. >> we don't want this smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud. >> you can't distinguish between al-qaeda and saddam when he talked about the war on terror and while they've been building their case for war through the news media pipeline, the could iraq came at the state of the union address when president bush read these 16 words that were absolutely chilling the british government has learned the saddam hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from africa as we prepare to go to combat and march 2003, i thought maybe the president and his inner circle has access to intelligence far beyond my pay grade. >> you were giving him the benefit of the doubt? >> yes, i was. >> but joe wasn't necessarily was just continuing to dig away at the state of the union address, which you know, is the most heavily vetted. >> each word is way and thought and argued how did that get in?

that doesn't make sense. >> qard winning is everything's stupid. tomorrow at nine on cnn look at a city little saleable. these men of means with their silver spoons heating up the financial favors 1%. what would become of them when they discover robin hood gold allows others to earn their very liberal rates on either cash, unlimited, deposit box that's susan tense, some retirement bashing chaos they're seeing this chaos place in the morning. i'm so glad i can still come here. you see i was diagnosed with obstructive hcm and there were some days i was so short of breath. i thought i'd have to settle for never stepping foot on his trail again, i became great at making excuses, but i've people who count on me. so i talked to my cardiologist.

patriotism we have pulled up many americans watching the war unfold on tv seemed comforted to know that, yes, our troops were indeed kicking continuing to watch the skies over baghdad on a very active night, they're having what have been characterized as a relatively easy time of it disappointed that the bombs or the cruise missiles fell before you got your orders to move forward no, sir. it's post-9-11, america and the white house can ride that story line forever. and in some ways, the press kit to the whole world was watching. >> and then just six weeks into the invasion of iraq, a new made for tv spectacle president bush hitching a ride on a fighter jet and the uss abraham lincoln, just off the coast of san diego to make what proved premature announcements george w bush puts on a flight suit he's got the luck done.

of mass destruction? where are they exactly? >> i mean, we get there and there's no secret labs, there's no reactor, there's no centrifuges. the whole cost of war suddenly seems rather suspect there is an understatement. >> because as soon as us troops landed in iraq, it quickly became apparent that americans were safe from wmo these in iraq as the troops actively searching for them. no weapons of mass destruction were found at far from being a quick victory iraq went up in sectarian flame i remember this very well. i was writing for the website 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 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. he spoke to people up on the hill that this isn't right. >> it became an >> yes joe wilson was so upset that after months of stewing over bush 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 accused the white house to manipulating the intelligence from jair to justify an invasion of iraq. new questions about the president's case against iraq with some of the based on bad intelligence so tell me about when you first read joe wilson's op-ed. >> it was really like a lightning bolt a galvanizing he had a lot of credit because he had been a bush one ambassador.

>> then all of a sudden that kind of weight where the hell are the nuclear weapons? question was front and center all hell broke loose. >> did the administration mislead us on weapons of mass destruction? the british government has learned to saddam hussein recently sought a significant quantities of uranium from africa and wilson refuting those 16 words caused the white as to retreat from the statement faster than you could say freedom fries. no now what we did not know at the time of the state of the union and the president in retrospect, were not included that remark in the state of the union in speeches, you 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 in word by word, behind the scenes, vice president cheney

strongly opposed the white house taking it back the british, after all, we're standing by their intelligence. >> your husband, he made his point, the white house conceded his point. >> don. >> that's right except it wasn't the bush team could have dropped this, right then in there but they didn't where were you when the robert novak column came out in the washington post? >> the first time i read it in print was the morning of you didn't know that he had done you knew i had no idea. >> no idea. we had no idea robert novak was a legendary conservative columnist with more than 40 years of reporting in washington, dc. >> i'm wrong we're told but to many of his colleagues, he was known as the prince of darkness, who's a fixture on cable news. >> do you think democrats have got their house in order after taking up pasting from the republicans last november. no way he was very tied into the bush administration if he was saying something, you knew that he was getting it straight from the white house. the washington

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. >> the 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 wonder who it yes. if the person has violated laws, a personal be taken care of the justice department began an investigation into the leak in september 2003, the first journalist who have reported her name was novak, obviously, so the prosecutor patrick fitzgerald, some 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 all-powerful prince of darkness, immediately revealed his confidential sources. >> asquith fitzgerald knew that armitage 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 with my secondary source

of my tertiary source deputy secretary of state richard armitage chad apparently inadvertently leaked plame's 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 or multiple points of late. >> we know that it was richard armitage. >> two was the deputy secretary of state, correct? >> and with that much internal chatter about the op-ed valerie plame is named found its way to journalists, including judith miller and 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 subpoenaed them both to testify about who their sources were. >> they want to know who your sources were. >> 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 teacher unless 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 of people created from karl rove. in shorter form from scooter libby, vice president's chief-of-staff here we are called row and he's like wilson's wife's all cia and carl was like right. but you totally can't tell anyone. i told you that was a totally and carlos all you double secret. >> and that was i totally super secret, double steeper secret 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 iran 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 leak only one member of the information task taskforce took the fall louis 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 russert when he said, did you know that ambassador wilson's white work? >> i was a little taken aback by that, and i said no, i don't know that but roster 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 the 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 that any of them had my identity revealed for nefarious purposes for me, what 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. just don't do that. >> an armitage should have known better what's weird is that aren't 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 let down the secretary of state, i let down my department, my family, and i also let down mr. this is wilson. others should have been held accountable. >> clearly, there was a conspiracy was there? >> it all started after all, when robert novak ran into joe wilson in the nbc meet the press green room, novak thought wilson was a quote, asl then when no talked to harm adage a couple of days later, he asked why the cia would send wilson tunisia >> and that's when armitage told him, well i think his wife senate washington, d.c is more gossipy than a high school lunch room because washington more like house of cards or is it more likely? and i'm here to tell you, washington is more like veep stupidity is always the explanation in washington, d.c. >> there was a sort of conspiracy to push out the certain narrative dick cheney had written in the margins of joe's op-ed, who's his wife,

question mark. >> what cheney had actually written, quote, have they done this sort of thing? for send an ambassador to answer a question? do we ordinarily send people out pro bono to work for us? or did his wife send him on a junket bush white house supporters note that patrick fitzgerald never charged anyone, but living never prove the conspiracy and never proved that anyone new plane it 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 cloud there. that cloud remains because the defendant has obstructed justice, lied about what happened saturday at nine on cnn tired of sciatic nerve pain radiating down your leg and lower back, get relief finally, with magna life leg and back i pain relief, a combination of four active ingredients they get to

work fast. so good living available at your local retailer i'm a lifelong republican. i voted for trump twice, but i can't do it again. trump wants a national sales tax on imported goods it will make everything more expensive for regular people all while giving tax breaks to billionaires we're gonna give you tax cut. kamala harris is for regular people. she wants to tax cut for 100 million americans so we keep more of our hard-earned money. i'm a proud republican, but this year i'm voting for kamala harris. >> pac is responsible for the content of this add my cry

>> why? >> gauff this hey, susan toothbrush and big interview her nice new suit, new haircut, ancient risks, stick make the sonic care switch? all alright, now go knock them dead. boss can i get the wi-fi? >> i'm a hang here. >> look at this city, little saleable. >> these men of means with their silver spoons heating up the financial favors of the 1% what would become of them when they discover robinhood gold allows others to earn their very liberal rates on either cash, unlimited, deposit, bomblets. >> susan, hence, some retirement matching it's our son, he is always up in our business. it's the verizon 5g home internet i got us. oh... he used to be a competitive gamer but with the higher lag, he can't keep up with his squad. so now we're his “squad”. what are kevin's plans for the fall? he's going to college. out of state, yeah. -yeah in the fall. change of plans, i've decided to stay local.

investigation only scooter libby was sentenced to 30 months in prison which george w bush later commuted cheney thought libya was guilty of nothing worse than a faulty memory in thought, bush would pardon him. >> but at a private lunch, bush told cheney he would not. mr. president. cheney told him you are leaving a good man wounded on the field of battle i was clearly not happy that we can effect life scooter sort of hanging in the wind beyond all of it, armitage, bush, cheney rove, libby fitzgerald was valerie plame, a woman who had done nothing but served her country and it was now left to pick up the pieces of her life and career you and joe separated before he passed away in 2019. >> i mean, did this tell you apart or was it it caused a great deal of damage? because i couldn't speak out for some

time. he was carrying the water for both of us and i think ultimately it just cuts so deeply hoping to prevent future leaks, congress called a hearing on whether white house officials followed protocol for protecting valerie plame's 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 cover, leaving her with well a lot of shock and all ultimately, we were sort of the 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 this was a war that ended up with tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dead, innocent iraqi's 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 good, but the result of it is hard to justify were not just talking about abstract things kind of, you know? >> who, who is right, who is wrong, because 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 destruction got to be somewhere

i'm kidding. obviously that didn't happen no, no weapons over there 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 joke a joke that had a body count. what is this about is it a bout immediate being to chummy? with politicians. is it about an administration so blinded by their desire to go to war and justify it. that they're willing to do anything if the hill dad and show, the first casualty of war is the truth, it's really true here i mean, they did want to extend their prepare occasion. they're lying, however you want to put it about the war through another means. but it's also about a culture of the press

that's not always responsible. >> bus. >> finally, 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'm struck by the fact that the real source of the leak was dick armitage someone who seemed to have just gotten caught up in gaza in an incestuous gab fast with a columnist with an agenda and then my focus turns to us maybe in the plame 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 feverish lee 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 and to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of iraq i mean, ukraine correct. >> anyway one of the most uncomfortable friday and slips i've ever seen
