Incomplete picture of what happened to Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame
Former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson and his wife CIA agent Valerie Plame made a name for themselves during the Iraq War. Wilson was sent on a trip by the CIA to Niger to investigate a claim that Iraq tried to buy uranium from the country for its nuclear bomb program. When he accused the Bush administration of manipulating the story the White House launched a campaign to discredit him which included exposing his wife’s name which was classified. Plame on the other hand worked in a CIA investigating Iraq’s WMD. The problem is that’s what most of the public remembers. Most don’t know that Wilson didn’t disprove the Niger story as he claimed, and that he exaggerated his knowledge as well. Basically, Wilson accused the government of making baseless claims about Iraq and then made his own in response. I therefore had mixed feelings about this movie. Would it just present the Wilson/Plame side of the story or give it the nuance that it actually had, something Hollywood usually fails at.<br /><br />The movie paints a black and white picture. It portrays Wilson and Plame as a couple who did their job and were attacked by the White House because they didn’t follow the script about Iraq. It pits the small guys against the powerful.<br /><br />The start of the movie is quite good. It has Vice President Cheney ordering an investigation into the Niger claim. That led Wilson to go to Niger where he found nothing. It even has a single CIA analyst pushing the idea that Iraq tried to buy aluminum tubes to build centrifuges for its nuclear bomb program which was disputed. The film actually goes into some detail into both stories and a few others that actually happened in the run up to the Iraq invasion.<br /><br />Fair Game goes from there to the White House’s campaign against Wilson/Plame led by Vice President Cheney’s office. The two are portrayed as heroes. There’s one scene where Wilson goes on a monologue about how it’s up to the people to maintain democracy for instance.<br /><br />The problem with the movie is that it skips the part about what Wilson actually said. Wilson tells Plame that they needed to get their side of the story out to the public which was that the administration lied about Niger. That wasn’t true. Wilson said his trip to Niger proved there was nothing to the Niger story. The CIA actually thought his trip raised more questions then answers. Wilson claimed that his trip must have been reported to the Vice President which it wasn’t. Wilson later stated that he saw documents on Niger which turned out to be forgeries when he didn’t. What actually happened was that Wilson thought he’d refused the Niger claim when he hadn’t and then he exaggerated what he knew. Of course that wouldn’t make a good movie so it was left out. Fair Game therefore is an incomplete story.
