Thanks to the media's obsession with the Karl Rove pseudo-scandal, former Iraq ambassador Joseph Wilson is once again the toast of Washington, D.C. - appearing on dozens of TV and radio programs, airing his demand that President Bush "honor his word" to fire Rove.
It's almost as if last year's Senate Intelligence Committee investigation into Wilson's allegations never happened.
In fact, after probing Wilson's story, Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts publicly ripped the so-called "whistleblower" as a possible hoaxer and a fraud. In a July 9, 2004 press release that's still available on Roberts' official web site, the Kansas Republican said:
"The former Ambassador, either by design or through ignorance, gave the American people and, for that matter, the world a version of events that was inaccurate, unsubstantiated, and misleading . . .
"Time and again, Joe Wilson told anyone who would listen that the President had lied to the American people, that the Vice President had lied, and that he had 'debunked' the claim that Iraq was seeking uranium from Africa. As discussed in the Niger section of the [Committee's] report, not only did he NOT 'debunk' the claim, he actually gave some intelligence analysts even more reason to believe that it may be true."
Sen. Roberts continued:
"When asked how [Wilson] 'knew' that the Intelligence Community had rejected the possibility of a Niger-Iraq uranium deal, as he wrote in his book, he told Committee staff that his assertion may have involved 'a little literary flair.'"
The Intel Committee chair concluded:
"I believed very strongly that it was important for the Committee to conclude publicly that many of the statements made by Ambassador Wilson were not only incorrect, but had no basis in fact."

Joe Wilson should be stoned in the town square, as should Richard Clark. Both put their personal agendas before my country's security. And still, the media touts them as heroes.
Heck, let's stone the media in the square, too.
As Gen. Tommy Franks wrote in his book "Dick Clarke" never gave him one piece of actionable intellgence...
Stone'em, hang'em, burn'em, drop them out of the payload bays of a B-2 at 50K feet over N.K. only way to treat traitors.
What I had in mind was sodomizing him with a chainsaw
Joe Wilson is evidence that the power that the MSM wields is still massive.
Thank you for the link!
What is evidence is the mass media and democrats no longer yield the "power" and as soon as the Republicans understand this, the better off this country will be.
HEH HEH! ((((evil laugh)))
"Joseph Wilson is once again the toast of Washington, D.C."
And soon to be just toast.
No Joseph, that is not a really a crown, it is just the Imperial Butter you tried to grease the skids with that has landed on your toasted carcass.
Does anyone know where I can find this specific report by the Senate Intelligence Committee?
Thanks in advance.
Heck, let's stone the media in the square, too.
Instead of stones, how about using baseball bats on them the way it was done to Joe Pesci and his brother in "Casino".
It is absolutely amazing to me that these filthy sleaze bags get away with the things they say.
And what makes me even more angry is that the powers that be in the Republican party (excuse me, Mr. Frist? Would you mind doing your blankety blank job??), aren't screaming the facts from the rooftops. They just sit back and whisper, hoping that the American public is smart enough to figure out the truth.
Well, guess what. They aren't. The sheeple will swallow anything the media tells them as gospel. So until the Republicans abuse the media to their own advantage, we have to do the screaming for them. And we don't even get to vacation in The Vineyard. Buttwipes.
Cause if it is, those people are soon gonna have bad stuff happening all around them.
Taken a look at old Billy boy lately? Looks like the karma train has already run over him.
