Here is Wilson's interview with Larry King:

Here's some interesting points:

KING: When you saw the address were you shocked?
WILSON: The address, when the president gave the address. He talked only about uranium from Africa and there were four countries in Africa that produce uranium one of which is Niger, the other three are Gabon, Namibia and South Africa. So long as he was talking about Africa, it wasn't clear to me that he was talking about Niger. It was really only in March when the forged documents came out and the head of the International Atomic Agency Dr. ElBaradei said that these documents were not authentic and the State Department spokesman made it clear that it was those documents on which we based the conclusion that Iraq was attempting to purchase uranium from Niger.

Remember, in the NY Times editorial he pointed at the State Department Fact Sheet from December 2002. Later he pointed at Dr. ElBaradei. Now he finds some comment, supposedly, from a State Department spokesman. But notice he said "We based". Who is "We"? Is the subject here the State Department fact sheet? He avoids saying Bush. He also avoids British statements that the forged documents had nothing to do with their analysis, and Tenet's statement similar, and Tenet adding that there was information about other African countries.

Joe doesn't know about this? Hardly likely. And what documents does Andrea Mitchell have???

Did State Department Recommend Not Sending Forged Documents?

Question Taken at March 14, 2003 Daily Press Briefing

BBSNews - 2003-03-14 -- Question: Did the State Department recommend not sending the forged documents related to Iraqi attempts to procure uranium from Niger to the IAEA? Did we send anyone to Niger to explore this issue?

Answer (Sec'y Powell): -- We recommended sending the documents in question to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for their own analysis and interpretation.

-- We have communicated closely with the government in Niger on this issue and appreciate its efforts in providing information that sheds more light on Iraq s continued efforts to acquire illicit items from abroad.

-- We did not send State Department personnel to Niger for the specific purpose of discussing this matter. However, our Embassy in Niamey raised the issue with Nigerien officials on several occasions and we were satisfactorily assured that they did not sell uranium to Iraq. We continue to consult on a wide range of nonproliferation issues with a variety of African countries, including Niger.

-- We stress that the focus remains on Iraq s pursuit of illegal materials from abroad for its weapons of mass destruction programs.
