Tree, under no circumstances was I trying to imply that Bill or Hillary had anyone bumped off.
Than why was it there?

I was merely pointing out that I think it is rather strange that Valerie, who as far as I know has never been
out of the US on a CIA mission would be concerned for her safety or her family when people all over the Clinton era were being arrested or dying. Draw your own conclusions on the causes.
Might try doing a little research first, took me all of three minutes to come up with this little jewel.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Plame#Career
Former CIA official Larry C Johnson , who left the CIA in 1989, indicated Plame had been a "non-official cover operative"). He explained: "...that meant she agreed to operate overseas without the protection of a diplomatic passport. If caught in that status she would have been executed." Later, he wrote that "The law actually requires that a covered person 'served' overseas in the last five years. Served does not mean lived. In the case of Valerie Wilson, energy consultant for Brewster-Jennings, she traveled overseas in 2003, 2002, and 2001, as part of her cover job. She met with folks who worked in the nuclear industry, cultivated sources, and managed spies. She was a national security asset until, supposedly, being exposed by Karl Rove and Scooter Libby.

I find it rather interesting that you would make the stretch and actually feel you need to defend the Clintons unless you know something we don't?
I must know something that you dont know about Clinton, how about the economy, it was a big topic earlier this week; want to compare it to Clintons?
These economic statistics regularly cited by Bush,Bush, Paint a rosy picture of the labor market and income growth. However, they ignore the fact that economic performance since 2001 remains weaker than in previous economic recoveries.
Income growth, but not for all. The 8.3 percent rise in real (inflation-adjusted) after-tax income per person since about one third slower than the 2.3 percent per year growth under President Clinton.
The average hourly earnings of production and other nonsupervisory workers have fallen in each of the past two years. During the period of job growth touted by President Bush, real wages fell by 1 percent.
The real median usual weekly earnings of full time wage and salary workers have declined 0.9 percent under Bush. The largest declines in earnings have been at the bottom of the distribution and the only increases have occurred at the very top. This pattern contrasts with the healthy growth in real earnings up and down the income distribution during the last five years of Clinton presidency .
More elimination of the middle class by the of the middle class by the Republicans .
