Jon Donleavy ended his report by saying "the republicans are planning their response", and said Gillespie, RNC head called Wilson a partisan.

Koppell asked Wilson, "Your wife, working as an analyst, has knowledge of nukes in Iraq".

Wilson corrects him, Kopell says I know she used to be an operative, but now is an analyst. Wilson says, you need to check your sources, but no further argument.

Did your wife suggest you for the job? Wilson says, "No". But then, in response to a question, Wilson says yes, it may have happened that the CIA asked my wife if she thought I might be interested in going to Niger. HAHAH big distinction, Joe!!!!

Wilson said he knew all about Niger, the region, and the business, and he was skeptical of Niger selling Iraq stuff before he even went to Niger.

Koppel asking about Rove. Wilson says he's been told by reporters who spoke to Rove a week after the Novak article. Says a reporter called him and said, "I just got off the phone with Karl Rove. He said your wife is fair game." Doesn't name the reporter(s), but he will tell the FBI.
