Wilson is aligned with Moveon.org. The likelihood of this story being true (that the WH had anything at all to do with it) is slim.
Exactly, this vile Wilson along with his biased Clinton-holdover wife were trying to undermine Bush from within with this whole Niger fiasco in the first place. I have said for nearly two years that George Tenet is unworthy of trust and should be fired. Now he found himself insurance against being fired with this Novak nonsense.

He is also involved in their affiliated association, Win Without Wars, he attended one of thier functions. Also from a previous post on FR:
He was an outspoken opponent of U.S. military intervention in Iraq.Personally, unless Novak starts naming names and fast, I would have to defer to Wolfstar's opinion on that same page:He's an "adjunct scholar" at the Middle East Institute — which advocates for Saudi interests. The March 1, 2002 issue of the Saudi government-weekly Ain-Al Yaqeen lists the MEI as an "Islamic research institutes supported by the Kingdom."
He's a vehement opponent of the Bush administration which, he wrote in the March 3, 2003 edition of the left-wing Nation magazine, has "imperial ambitions." Under President Bush, he added, the world worries that "America has entered one of it periods of historical madness."
He also wrote that "neoconservatives" have "a stranglehold on the foreign policy of the Republican Party." He said that "the new imperialists will not rest until governments that ape our world view are implanted throughout the region, a breathtakingly ambitious undertaking, smacking of hubris in the extreme."
He was recently the keynote speaker for the Education for Peace in Iraq Center, a far-left group that opposed not only the U.S. military intervention in Iraq but also the sanctions — and even the no-fly zones that protected hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Kurds and Shias from being slaughtered by Saddam.
Given Wilson's ties to Gore, Foley, and Clinton, there is every reason to believe this whole thing is a classic setup. Those who say they believe it was timed to come out when the President was overseas are almost certainly correct. The Dems get someone like Wilson, who has the veneer of expertise and statesmanship, to plant the story. All the key Dems in politics and media are alerted in advance so they have their attack ready to go as soon as the story is printed. Then they howl and rant and rave while the White House is off-guard due to the Africa trip. Classic backstabbing maneuver.
