The Wichita Eagle reports:

“Congressional oversight committees have failed miserably to exercise prompt oversight. They’re at the root of the politicization of the intelligence apparatus. I would assert that Sen. Pat Roberts is the root of the problem,” Valerie Plame Wilson, the outed CIA operative, said during a recent visit to the University of Kansas. She blames the inaccurate intelligence that led to the Iraq war on the Bush administration but also on the Kansas Republican senator, who chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee at the time.

In response, a spokeswoman for Roberts told the Lawrence Journal-World that Wilson “is not a credible source. Valerie Plame is hawking a book and appears willing to say anything to get media attention.”

That's a pretty nasty personal attack from Sen. Roberts, especially targeted toward a woman who worked to serve her country. (Of course, when you've committed the last seven years of your life to the single purpose of protecting George W. Bush, those Kansas values have to be left behind.)
