"I'm told by a person involved in the Niger caper that more than a year ago the vice president's office asked for an investigation of the uranium deal, so a former U.S. ambassador to Africa was dispatched to Niger."

Parse that sentence however you want, and tell me what part of it is false.

I don't think anyone ever considered the idea that Cheney 'sent' Wilson until Cheney folks started screaming that Wilson had lied about Cheney sending him.

As far as what Wilson 'wanted' people to believe, that is a rather comical approach on this story. One could just as easily say that, when McClellan said there was no involvement, he 'wanted' people to believe that neither Rove nor Libby told or confirmed for any reporter than Wilson's wife was employed by the CIA.

As I've said many times, I doubt either broke any law. But disclosing that his wife was at CIA [I know you know this, but if they didn't know her role at CIA, they were under an obligation to find out and confirm that it wasn't classified before talking about it to reporters] was a cheap move for those who are entrusted with significant roles in running this country.

The Cheney folks never screamed about anything. The MSM (like Chris Matthews) presented it as "Cheney sent Wilson". Wilson wanted that idea out there and it succeeded.

It's not my fault that's how the MSM and dems operate.
