This issue has been driven into the ground and its baseless. It is nothing but an attempt by the left to bring down the bush administration. Do I have to find a writer in the NYT to write this first before I can post it?
Wilson had no experience in WMD's, his wife did. After bush mentioned iraq "trying" to buy yellowcake in niger the CIA sends wilson to investigate. he comes back to the CIA, gives an oral report (he was not required to put it in writing), and he tells the CIA that, yeah, its possible that saddam was looking around, possibly trying to buy uranium.
Then wilson writes an Op-ed piece, that is 180 degrees from his statements at the CIA. The whitehouse reads it and wants to know what is up. Who is this guy, why was he sent to niger, what are his intentions and the intentions of the CIA? No one wants to talk about Joe Wilson and how he lied. The left puts this guy up as a poster child, him and his wife, perfect angels before the big bad evil republicans ruined her career because they were mad at wilson for telling the truth about saddam and niger.
Through the course of the whitehouse's own investigation into the Wilson op-ed piece they figure out that his wife works at the CIA as an analyst on WMD intel. Novak mentions this in his piece because it is relevant information and he was not forbid to mention it (he may have been asked not to mention Plame's name and relationship, but he was not forbid). A couple months later all hell breaks loose because the democrats, bitter about losing at the polls think they might have a way to hurt bush. And, as we all can see, nothing substantial has come from the investigation but one guy allegedly lying to investigators. Because Libby may have lied, does not mean anyone else did anything illegal.
The CIA never raised much concern over Novaks piece, Justice looked into it for a weekend and then dismissed it. yet the left feels it is there mission to figure out who leaked this "covert" agents identity. Too bad the CIA and Justice Dept didn't think it was necessary to figure out.
That is the reason this is a non-story. It is a partisan attempt to bring down an administration. The media feels as if it is reliving watergate, while the left is desparate for power because they cant win at the polls. We've been through this time and time again and nothing has changed, so why should I try and refute every little article you post? Because its all a bunch of horse-poopie. So first I ignored you, then I laughed at you. If you think I'm going to fight you over this you probably think you're going to win, as well.
