You jest, of course.
But it is nonetheless worthwhile to speculate as to just whose payroll Wilson was actually on.
The DNC and Kerry Campaign are only the most obvious nominees.
You've suggested Saddam Hussein as another possibility.
Then, there are the Saudis -- with whom Wilson has very close fiduciary relations. He is on the board of their Middle East Institute (a common sinecure for the more corruptible State Dept retirees) and runs a "consulting service" out of the offices of the Rock Creek Corporation, which is a Saudi front.
Perhaps, we shouldn't discount al-Qaeda itself as a possible Wilson paymaster -- veiled by his Saudi contacts.
In any event, there is no reason to believe that Wilson has been pursuing the national interest of the United States at any time during the past two years. The only question is whose interest is he, in fact, most concerned with (aside from his own, of course).
Is it known who exactly sent him on to the Yellowcake Road? Not that he couldn't have bamboozled some otherwise honest superior who would have had no reason to distrust him.
An Al Qaeda connection could be possible I reckon but it just seems to me that his actions would have had more benefit to Saddam in trying to eliminate reasons for an American invasion. Didn't Wilson start to sing a new tune before the US attack on Saddam?
