Wilson and his cohorts led us down the yellow path and we all foolishly followed.
All due respect, most freepers deduced that the purpose of Wilson's lie was to shift attention and damage Bush at the same time. He knew he could count on the media's assistance. FReepers and the blogosphere were pointing out inconsistencies in the story from day one.
I don't believe anybody here foolishly followed anything, even when speculating about Fitzgerald's possible perfidy while hoping against hope that he would prove to be an honest prosecutor.
It's not anybody's fault but theirs that they've proved they can't live up to the standards expected of their positions. And I'm referring to Powell, Armitage and Fitz.
