Wilson was asked about statements by Rove's defenders...

Yeah, whatever. A thousand other reporters are asking those same questions. But is anybody in the lamestream press showing the slightest curiosity about, for instance, how Wilson "knows" that Cheney selected him for the Niger trip, how he "knows" that Cheney read his report or debrief, both things for which there is no evidence, and which have been denied not just by V.P. Cheney but also by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee?

Has any reporter badgered Wilson (as they've badgered entirely peripheral figures connected with the Bush administration) about how he can continue to deny his wife put him up for the assignment when the Senate Intelligence Committee quoted a memo in which she did so, and also direct testimony from those present that she did likewise in a meeting?

The incuriousity of the press about certain questions is amazing.

Not to mention that nowhere in the article, so far as I can see, does it spell out how Wilson's statements were discredited. You'd think somewhere the reporter(s) might mention the fact that Karl Rove in fact was alerting the reporter that Joe Wilson is a liar. Isn't it odd how they forget that little fact? They dutifully report Joe Wilson's "assertions" that "challenge" the administration but leave out those details where he was show to be, shall we say, not credible.
