James Guckert a/k/a Jeff Gannon was interviewed on the Canadian Broadcasting Company's radio program "As It Happens." Mr. Guckert told the CBC interviewer that he did not see the internal memo relating to Valerie Plame. He said he "could" have overheard some other people talking about it or he "could" have been told to ask the question. He did not say who he overheard or who might have asked him to ask Ambassador Wilson the question.
Mr. Guckert seemed evasive in some of his responses. He avoided discussion of his journalism experience, saying that he had published over 500 articles over the last two years.
Mr. Guckert denied that he was a "plant" to ask softball questions. He said he had asked some tough questions. In particular, he cited a question he had asked in a White House briefing about the President's abrogation of his Constitutional authority by entering into an agreement with Senator Daschle not to make judicial recess appointments.
