"Wherever Joseph Wilson is, the lies will follow. And so will the partisan hackery." How many lies can a journalist.... .....pack into one story? Posted by antimedia Media Lies Let's see. <<< Mr Wilson has been a vocal critic of the Bush administration since July 2003, when he publicly challenged the government's arguments for going to war in Iraq. >>> False. In February 2003, a full five months before his July op-ed and during the same timeframe that Wilson made his trip to Niger, Wilson published a policy brief that, among other things, stated this. <<< Then what's the point of this new American imperialism? The neoconservatives with a stranglehold on the foreign policy of the Republican Party, a party that traditionally eschewed foreign military adventures, want to go beyond expanding US global influence to force revolutionary change on the region. American preeminence in the Gulf is necessary but not sufficient for the hawks. Nothing short of conquest, occupation and imposition of handpicked leaders on a vanquished population will suffice. Iraq is the linchpin for this broader assault on the region. The new imperialists will not rest until governments that ape our world view are implanted throughout the region, a breathtakingly ambitious undertaking, smacking of hubris in the extreme. >>> I'd say that's a vocal critic. <<< He says he travelled to Niger to investigate a claim that Iraq had tried to buy nuclear material there, but found no evidence to prove it. >>> False. Wilson reported that the Iraqis had approached Niger about purchasing yellowcake uranium. <<< The claim was later used by Mr Bush as part of the justification for the 2003 invasion. >>> False. Bush never mentioned Niger in his 2003 State of the Union address or at any other time. <<< It is alleged that senior administration officials leaked details of Ms Plame's role in a bid to undermine Mr Wilson. He told NBC television "this thing... for the past two years has been a cover-up... of the... lies that underpin the justification for...war". "And to a certain extent, this cover-up is becoming unravelled," he said. "That's why you see the White House stonewalling." >>> Wherever Joseph Wilson is, the lies will follow. And so will the partisan hackery. antimedia.us news.bbc.co.uk mideasti.org antimedia.us whitehouse.gov
