Last night on Hardball, the guests couldn't agree on who sponsored Wilson's Niger trip. I want us to remember Caspar Weinberger is already on the front lines for Bush/Cheney. I want us to remember that David Gergen politely, but resolutely argued it was the CIA that sent Wilson to Niger. I want us to remember how this position dovetails with the above MSNBC column.

I mean, why would Joseph Wilson had reported back to the CIA, if Cheney were the one who sent him on the mission?? And really, why in the hell would Dick Cheney have sent Clinton operative Joseph Wilson on a cloak and dagger mission? That doesn't even pass the make sense test.

Thank you for these links and the information. This Wilson story is being relied on heavily, and the DU(h)ers are rallying, saying "forget Wilkinson, remember Wilson!" as if Wilson's story has been fully supported. Notice that Wilson's report isn't even that there was no transaction, but that it was unlikely.

The only clarification I would add is that Wilson served in this capacity:

Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, IV

~snip~

From 1988 to 1991, he was the Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. During "Desert Shield" he was the acting Ambassador and was responsible for the freeing of several hundred American hostages. He was the last official American to meet with Saddam Hussein before "Desert Storm."

Then after that,you are correct--he was a clinton operative.

And always remember that RATs.com was started by the Clinton White House webmaster! Doesn't that speak volumes.

From what I was told on here last night, Wilson didn't even turn in a report! That totally flunks the smell test!

Also he is coming out right after the Clintons are in Britain? I refuse to believe in coincidence when the Clintons are anywhere near the story.

He also asked Ann Coulter about her take on this story and after her answer, his response was(and I paraphrase)"Well you are a heck of a writer I've read your work, but come back next week and I think your answer will be different" The dims are rolling the dice with this, my money is on GWB!
