Education for Peace in Iraq (EPIC) also supported the lifting of sanctions. I believe that Mr. Joseph C. Wilson was involved with EPIC.

Yes, he was.

Funny you should mention EPIC. One name that keeps coming back again and again is Ramzi Kysia. He was on the board of EPIC. Somehow, he managed to be able to get in and out of Iraq at will during Hussein's reign. (See the link I posted above.)

Kysia also has spoken at left-wing churches and published quite a bit in the left-wing press:

If you look at his career, he never criticized Hussein when Hussein was in power. On all his trips to Iraq, he never reported on the killings committed by Hussein. He blamed all the problems on the sanctions.

After Hussein was overthrown, he has said that Iraq had been under a "brutal dictatorship." But he never seemed to emphasize that point before Hussein was overthrown.

So was he an agent of Hussein, or just blinded by anti-American ideology? I don't know. What's interesting is how the left-wing press published this guy without asking some very basic questions.
