Does Valerie Plame Still Have Some Explaining to Do?

(Fox News) - The vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee wants former CIA officer Valerie Plame to explain discrepancies in her accounts of how her husband was hired for an intelligence mission to Africa.

Joe Wilson went to Niger in 2002 to investigate reports Iraq was trying to buy uranium. USA Today reports Missouri Republican Senator Kit Bond says Plame has had three different stories. He says she told the CIA's inspector general in 2003 or 2004 that she suggested Wilson, told Intelligence Committee staffers in 2004 she couldn't remember whether she had suggested Wilson, and told a House panel last March that an unidentified CIA officer came up with the idea.

Plame's CIA connection was revealed after Wilson accused the Bush administration of ignoring his findings. The leak of her CIA status led to the conviction of former White House aide "Scooter" Libby on perjury and obstruction of justice charges.
