You are so right. AP has already figured out a spin that puts the blame on President Bush. The following is from the KEN GUGGENHEIM AP article you get when you log onto AOL. The bold face is mine. I am waiting to see how many times I see repudiation used in articles tomorrow. It is not a word generally used (a la gravitas?) Nowhere in the article does it say that Wilson lied or that the White House had been under relentless attack about using "the 16 words" before they finally came out with some backtracking. Now AP is attacking the White House for repudiating the 16 words when their assertion was correct after all.
"It was one of the first signs that the intelligence used to go to war in Iraq was wrong: White House repudiation of 16 words in last year's State of the Union speech that had suggested Saddam Hussein tried to buy uranium in Africa.".................
"The White House's repudiation came after The New York Times published an op-ed column by former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who was sent by the CIA to Niger to determine if Iraq had been acquiring uranium. Wilson said it was unlikely any uranium transaction had taken place and the administration appeared to have been manipulating the intelligence."
