Could you please clarify, in simple wordage what J. Wilson supposedly lied about?
Not just Wilson, but before he wrote his op-ed his story was being pushed by an anonymous CIA official in newspaper stories.
Wilson stated he was sent at the request of the VP: False
Wilson stated the President and VP were briefed on Wilson's trip to Niger: False
Wilson stated he was sent by the CIA, implying from the highest levels: False (the counter-proliferation group--his wife's group--sent him at their own initiative)
Wilson stated he found Iraq had not bought yellowcake from Niger, proving the "16 words" were wrong: False (He continues even in this letter to ignore the attribution in the SOTU to "British Intelligence")
Wilson states his wife's name was given to reporters as retribution for his writing his op-ed in the New York Times: False
There's more, but that's for starters.
Wilson stated he was sent by the CIA, implying from the highest levels: False
How do these two statemnts jive?
This is exactly what I mean...does he STATE both the VP and CIA sent him?
