Wilson parsed phraseology, and made it sound like Cheney sent him, when actually Wilson said the request came from the VP's office - not the VP.

And even that doesn't make sense. Why on earth would a former ambassador be sent to investigate illegal sales? Of course this must have been Novak's train of thought as well-"How did Wilson get picked?"

It seems pretty clear the CIA listend to Valerie.

It has been known that when the story hit the papers Cheney didn't even know who Wilson was.

That was in fact one of the media questions at the time, in addition to being a Cheney question.
