Wilson: I Made Up Rove Leak Allegation

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 insisted, however, "I have great confidence that, at a minimum, [Rove] condoned it and certainly did nothing to shut it down.""

Funny how Wilson criticizes the minimal evidence behind Bush’s claim while making up stuff with zero evidence for his own.

Here's a link to the source of the leak.

BIO-AMBASSADOR JOSEPH C. WILSON, IV-Middle East Institute

The last paragraph reads: "He is married to the former Valerie Plame and has two sons and two daughters."

Wilson is the leak, and a rabid peacenick clintonista liar.

"I think I was probably carried away by the "spirit" of the moment."

Sombody better put a sock in this guy's mouth he spilled the beans on them, could not have been a "good" spirit else he would not have lied.

Peter Jennings on ABC radio news just totally ignored this 25 minutes ago and painted the picture as definitely a White House leak and possibly Rove. Typical scumbag

Wilson then confessed, "I don't have any knowledge that Karl Rove himself was either the leaker or the authorizer of the leak."

Something a Rotten Clinton is entirely incapable of accomplishing, telling the truth. I'll bet Hillary wants to kick this guys ___ about right now.

On Britt Hume on Fox just now they are repeating the Wilson claim about Rove but no one appears to know that Wilson backed away from it.

I can't believe how uninformed these supposed "pros" are. I heard on Rush in either the 1pm or 2pm hour about wilson backing off the Rove reference. These guys knew that this would be the topic in tonight's 6pm hour. How come they don't know this???!!!
