Yes, I certainly hope Vallely has his dates right -- especially against Joe Wilson's claim that he didn't even appear on TV in the spring of 2003...... but I wouldn't be at all surprised to find Wilson is a fantasist on this as in many other matters. We do know that Wilson made several public appearances before lecture audiences from Oct. 2002 to Feb. 2003 and wrote a couple of op-eds before the war about Iraq policy, etc. (he was anti-war and supported what he called "agressive inspections" against Saddam.... though what exactly we were supposed to do when Saddam once again failed to cooperate with inspectors, Wilson never did seem to make clear).
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Wilson HAD been invited to make TV talk-show appearances in early 2003 since he had been putting himself out in the public as a supposed expert, but I sure do hope Vallely has his dates right and that Wilson WAS in fact in the same TV green rooms as Vallely in the spring of 2003 and not just some months later..... surely someone at FOX News can track down the bare facts of when/if Vallely and Wilson appeared on the same shows together?
One way to find out is to ask Tony Snow because he was the Moderator on FNS then. He is Freeper TonySnow, and you will find his talk show thread m-f from 9-12noon,and he does answer posts to him.
