Wolf Blitzer Drags Wilson into the Plame Affair

… or something like that.

Captain Ed has the full jaw-dropping analysis, from Late Edition:

BLITZER: But do you feel comfortable, do you feel comfortable with the very narrow issue of — for example, some people that have problems with you, and they say, well, let’s go to his — let’s see what his wife is up to, and we’ll try to drag her into this?

BAUER: But, Wolf, in this case, his wife allegedly played a role in sending him on a mission that ended up in a very real way being used to undermine the president’s desires in foreign policy areas…

BLITZER: So you don’t have a problem dragging her into this?

BAUER: Well, I would have trouble attacking somebody’s spouse if that spouse had nothing to do with the controversy. I’m arguing that in fact she did have something to do with the controversy. Look, this is a tough city…

Ed:

“Dragging her into this?” Does Blitzer ever do any research or real reporting, or does he just read off of notecards at this point? The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence made this quite clear in their unanimous report on the use of intelligence leading up to the Iraq war. Plame didn’t get dragged into this controversy by the Bush administration — she initiated the entire event by getting her husband a job to investigate the Niger data, based on the CIA’s curiousity about the British intelligence on the subject.
