for the exposure of CIA covert agent Valerie Plame.
Then we started looking at why Cheney and the WH and Rove and Dimson
went after Valerie Plame and exposed her.
We have come to the conclusion the exposure was not really payback to her husband, Joe Wilson former ambassador, who exposed that the letter stating Iraq had nuclear material and had purchased it from Niger was untrue and the letter was forged, which the administration had used in the State of Union and to convince the American people that Iraq had to be pre-emptively invaded.
We think that it is highly possible that because Valerie Plame's spy job was to track illegal WMD, she was getting close to finding out the
administration, or Halliburton, or Cheney was involved in illegal sale
of nuke materials to an enemy country which is against the US Law.
We found that Halliburton under Cheney had already sold nuke material to Libya in 1995 and was fined 1.2 million $. Now sales to Iran and
Syrria may possibly be under investigation
So we wonder if she was about to expose .....what? and was sidelined by the administration to prevent...what?
here's some from thread 3:

223. Just came to me, maybe Valerie Plame was the one who caught Cheney in 1995 selling illegal nuclear to Quadafi and has it out for
her ever since. if so she cost his company 1.2 million....and you'd be surprised, the richer you are the cheaper you are and fight for every penny.
Maybe it's as simple as that. ? She's the one who did her job and
reported him?

229. I keep hearing dif things about what country her focus was
I've read either Saudi or Iraq (but you'd think all the wmd people were on Iraq to some degree). Maybe we don't know (?) or it was broadly wmd proliferation.
Halliburton has problems all over the place, but maybe the most interesting is Iran--in terms of US not wanting another 'Islamic bomb' and Halliburton not giving a shit. That story broke publicly in Feb.:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/oil/story/0,11319,1146372,00.... This broke as a Treasury investigation. Money/biz from Halliburton Dubai.
Halliburton's Nigeria problems began closer to Plame/Novakula. But not sure why wmd specialist would be on Nigeria.
But who knows, need more info. Libya, Pakistan, your hot spot here.

You can catch up on a lot of this at thread 3 - too good to miss
The many DU'ers posting on this are using a lot of investigative brain power:
