the editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote a nearly unbelievable column laughing at the notion that Wilson might have been using his wife at the CIA to go on business trips to Niger - which, of course, would make her employment status a major part of the story and thus fair game for reporting. "Who volunteers to go to Niger?" he sneered. Clearly the man had never even read the Senate Intelligence Committee report, which included Mrs. Wilson's own emails suggesting her husband for the trips because he had "an upcoming business trip" (in 1999) and had business contacts in Niger (in 2002). Or if he had read it, he willfully disregarded it in a vain effort to brainwash his readers into believing that Wilson is a heroic truth-teller and anyone who discussed his wife's employment is a criminal.
I have not taken the Inquirer for 15 years. Whenever they call for a "free" trial subscription, I tell them that when they get their editorials off their front "news" page and start reporting the news rather than their opinions, I would reconsider.
