WASHINGTON - The former diplomat whose wife's identity as a CIA officer was disclosed by the Bush administration said yesterday that the leak has put her life in danger, and the government is not protecting her.
There have been a number of other people who've come out and suggested that perhaps this does make her a target
Joseph Wilson said.
We of course as a consequence of that
have begun to rethink our own security posture
he said.
Shortly after Wilson published an article challenging the administration's rationale for war in Iraq, syndicated columnist Robert Novak identified Wilson's wife as a CIA operative.
Wilson said it was his position on Iraq that prompted the leak, now the subject of a Justice Department investigation. The White House faces a Tuesday deadline to turn over documents that might help the investigation.
Wilson complained that nobody has offered security from the government
although my wife is a long-standing U.S. government employee.
