I agree with you that Wilson is guilty of Treason and so is his wife. Here is what I believe about his trip to Niger... This might get long winded so hang in there..

Joe Wilson was sent to Niger without the knowledge of the CIA Director, this was a mission solely orchestrated by the Counter Proliferation Dept of the CIA where his wife Valerie Plame worked.

Joe Wilson comes back after two weeks of chatting with various big whigs in Niger while sipping Mint Tea, he returned and filed a verbal report that was in fact supportive of the claim that Saddam sought to purchase Uranium from Niger.

Joe Wilson made many speeches against going to war with Iraq, yet never said a word about his trip or his so called findings. Even after the famous 16 words were uttered in the Presidents State of the Union Address, Joe Wilson remained silent until 4 months after we invaded Iraq and coincidently just a few after he signed on to the Kerry Campaign.

I believe Joe Wilson knew his trip to Niger didn't prove anything one way or the other, and probably went their on more of a vacation than a mission. But he decided to use his trip to try and damage this President in his effort to help elect John Kerry.

I personally believe that Fitzpatrick (Special Prosecutor) is focusing his investigation on the lies Joe Wilson has told, after all, he is the only one that has so far been proved to have lied, 3 TIMES no less. There is no doubt in my mind that the forged document is a major part of this investigation as well. That document was a KNOWN forgery and had no business being placed into Colin Powell's written report to the U.N. on October of 2002. Somebody put it in there to embarrass this President. This leads me to believe that Fitzpatrick is investigating who was involved in placing this document in Powell's report.

There was a conspiracy to embarrass this Administration and nobody will convince me otherwise

I agree with you that Fitzgerald is investigating Joe Wilson and I have said this during the past week or so on Free Republic. I do not know how to post articles, but if you can search on FR the thread about Colin Powell's testimony to the Grand Jury on Aug 9, 2004 (NEWSWEEK, you will see what I mean.

Toward the end of the article it says:

"Though most lawyers thought the investigation was nearly complete, sources say Fitzgerald has recently recalled witnesses before the grand jury---apparently to ask about issues raised by a new Senate intelligence committee report that seemed to contradict some of Wilson's public statements about Plame's role in his trip to Niger."

I think Fitzgerald is investigating Wilson and his Mrs and MAYBE why he had a sudden attack of conscience 18 months after his trip to Niger in Feb. 2002 and 4 months after the war started. You Know, after he became an adviser to the KERRY CAMPAIGN. Hell00000?

Also, about Wilson's testimony before the intelligence committee not only about his wife (which was a lie as the report states), but about those forged documents. I read that the report said he couldn't know about the report since it didn't come into U.S. possession unti 8 months after his trip to Niger. Wilson said when confronted about it that sometimes he uses a little literary flare. In other words, lies. I believe he DID see that report which was classified and it shown to him by his wife or they had something to do with it in the first place.

I think it was in a Howard Kurtz piece in the Washington Post in the past week that he says that appeals court judges of differing political parties has said the secret evidence that has been given to Judge Hogan by Fitzgerald has serious national security implications or something to that effect.
