Reply #28: I read somewhere, I think on fromthewilderness, that Valerie Plame's [View All]

undercover expertise and infiltration had to do with the Saudis, and that she was in a position to know the true potential in their remaining oil reserves and was about to reveal that information. I can't remember if it was implied that it was her real and only undercover endeavor and not WMDs at all, or if it was in addition to her knowledge about WMDs. According to this particular article, her outing supposedly had more to do with the administration's fears that she would reveal that Saudi oil field production is seriously in decline (thus providing clues to the real reasons for going into Iraq, securing another remaining oil resource) rather than just outing her for opposition to the war based on the WMD story being false. I never read this version anywhere else though so not sure if it's the case or not.
