Oops, I missed the very important fact that he had actually talked to Wilson. This made me wonder who Gilliam was or why a guy so seemingly infatuated with the bright lights would take time to talk to a blogger. As he mentions on his web site he worked on the movie Uncovered (an anti-war documentary). So I did some brief checking on that and found a short interview with Uncovered's director about the film. It seems ex-CIA professionals concerned about Bush's misuse of intelligence information were a primary source for his film.

Joe Wilson is listed as a key interview. And who saved the film if not the Soros funded MoveOn. And who helped to widely distribute the film but the same Soros. As far as I am concerned Joe Wilson is part of an organized propaganda campaign. And given Soros' money and evident reach, it's frightening to me.

As far as I am concerned Joe Wilson is part of an organized propaganda campaign.

That neatly sums it up.

As has been pointed out, before Wilson revealed himself in his op-ed as the diplomat who had gone to Niger, several newspapers here and in England cited a "CIA official" giving the Wilson version of the story ("Bush lied"). A version which is not fact-based. Clearly, there are (were, I wish, but still there, evidently) elements in the CIA that are given to propaganda techniques against their own government. I've said as much before.

And given Soros' money and evident reach, it's frightening to me.

Yes.
