Wilson had always said that the Vice President asked questions, and he was sent to Niger. But he carefully parses it so that you're left with a precise impression, but he didn't actually say it. :-/

Lugsoul, do you have any comments or insights into this? Thanks. :-)

Wilson's trip wasn't part of the FBI Niger investigation. It was part of the CIA Niger investigation.

I simply haven't seen the parsing you reference. It seems crystal clear to me that Wilson said (a) Cheney asked the CIA questions, (2) in response to those questions the CIA did some things, including sending Wilson to Niger, and (3) he's never talked to Cheney about it. I frankly think the whole "He needed to be debunked because he claimed Cheney sent him" fracas is a complete red herring.
