Former U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Joseph Wilson admitted Monday morning that he fabricated a key part of his allegation that the White House deliberately blew his wife's cover as a CIA weapons analyst.
Wilson has accused top Bush political strategist Karl Rove of leaking the name to columnist Robert Novak, telling a Seattle audience last month that he wanted "to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs."
But he told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday that he got "carried away" and made up the Rove allegation out of thin air.
"In one speech I gave out in Seattle not too long ago, I mentioned the name Karl Rove," Wilson told GMA. "I think I was probably carried away by the spirit of the moment."
Wilson then confessed, "I don't have any knowledge that Karl Rove himself was either the leaker or the authorizer of the leak."
Wilson insisted, however, "I have great confidence that, at a minimum, [Rove] condoned it and certainly did nothing to shut it down."

Wilson gave up his wife's name in his online bio, so if anyone 'leaked', it was himself...

It is not "gatting carried away in the moment"--it is called LYING.

As of 2:30 PM EST, ABC is still lying about Rove
despite the redaction.
ABC = al Qaeda Broadcasting Company, led by the quisling Mouse and the high school grad, Pierre Jennings.

"In one speech I gave out in Seattle not too long ago, I mentioned the name Karl Rove," Wilson told GMA. "I think I was probably carried away by the spirit of the moment." I can't help it. I'm a Democrat.

Wilson admits he's slandering bucket of slime.
Then goes on to qualify his apology and insult Karl Rove again. What a classless, putrid little goose turd.

This is a very big story considering how it relates to that yellowcake ruse.
More Clintonoid dirt, and it had me fooled.
So when is W going to purge "The Company"?
