Joe Wilson lied about Niger, screamed poor Valerie's position at the CIA had been compromised, and sparked a leak investigation leading to the indictment of Scooter Libby. We all knew that, right? Did you know:
- Joe made a previous trip to Niger for the CIA? That his company is headquarted out of the offices of Mohammed Alamoudi, now serving 23 years for terrorism related charges?
- Some speculate he's being used in a French disinformation campaign?
- Two West Point Generals confirmed yesterday that Joe Wilson had casually disclosed to them Valerie's position at the CIA during Green Room meetings at FOX news prior to the Novak column, a charge Joe denies. Links here, here, and here.
- Calling out the CIA for their role in this whole mess.
There's no doubt in my mind that Joe Wilson is an immensely partisan, publicity seeking opportunist. It might have been nice to remind people of this detail prior to indictments being handed down. Then again, if you're playing the long press game, indictments are not convictions. Also, Republicans should welcome the fight on the pre-war intelligence,. Every prominent US politician and the majority of our allies were on record that Saddam was a threat. All the shouting in the world won't change that fact.
Do you really enjoy being THAT MUCH of a mouthpiece for a bunch of lying men?
Gag.
