I believe Wilson has told so many lies at this point that even he can't remember what he's said. I saw yesterday's interview with Wolf and he also was stumbling all over himself trying to explain how he originally said Cheney sent him when Cheney never met him and it comes down to Cheney's staff. What a liar! I think in this case the truth actually appeared that she wasn't covert but in case he actually meant she was then he's a liar one more time because it's been established she didn't meet the definition.

Hey, tobyhill - is this what you mean by 'stumbling over himself?'

WILSON: "I've never said it was the vice president who sent me. It's clear in the article. And, indeed, it's clear in an interview that you did with me last year. And if you run the tape on that, you'll see that what the statement that they used was chopped out of the...

BLITZER: But, basically, you still hold to the notion that the whole idea of sending someone to Niger originated in the Vice President's Office?

WILSON: No, no, no, no, no. The idea of sending someone to Niger originated in response to a request from the Office of the Vice President -- that's how I was briefed -- that required an answer.

The decision was made by the operations people at the CIA, after a meeting that I had with the analytical community, to ask me if I would go and help answer some of the questions that still remained so that we would better understand the situation."

Or is it this you are talking about?

BLITZER: All right. So at least you agree -- and I know you have in the past as well -- that the vice president never directly asked you to go or asked that anyone go, namely his staff just wanted some answers and it was the CIA's decision to then send -- dispatch -- someone to try to get some firsthand information?

WILSON: That's correct. And I've said that in my op-ed, and I've said it in an interview here, and I've said it every time since.

Yeah. Sounds like he was really contradicting himself.
