OK, so May said that Cheney was a skeptic. I will tend to believe him, since May seems to be writing in defense of the administration or of the truth and not on a witch hunt; however, it would be nice if he substantiated this claim as he does with all the other things he lists. All of them, one can verify. The one saying Cheney doubted the intelligence, cannot- at least with the information presented.
But you said "Dick Cheney "tapped" this kook. He chose him on the reasonable grounds that he wanted an independent eye looking this situation over... So Cheney sent a skeptic. There is nothing presented by May saying Cheney chose Wilson. You state that he did. Did you make that up, did you read some tea leaves, or did you have something to base it on?
As for Wilson being qualified, he was being sent to evaluate intelligence information regarding the attempted procurement of uranium yellowcake, including determining if documents were forged.
Was he a CIA operative? No.
Was he an expert in yellowcake or other forms of radioactive materials? No.
Was he an expert in detecting forged documents? No.
Was he a weapons expert? No.
Did he have any qualifications relevant to his task?
No.

Re-read my response to your question. I think you might find the answer there. If you cannot figure it out, I might suggest that you are letting your rage about this situation anger you to the point where you cannot read clearly. Which -- incidently -- is a real good way to alienate those who are on your side.
