"Joe Wilson claimed that Cheney's office had sent him to Niger, which was a lie - the CIA had done it?" 1. Wilson's story was consistent. 2. Cheney asked the CIA to look into the uranium from Niger claim, and they asked Wilson to take the job. So, Cheney DID send Wilson to Niger! Maybe they told him Cheney had made the request? 3. Wilson's wife was at too low a pay grade to assign her husband the job - someone above her did that. I'm sure she recommended him - but, so what? He was well qualified, and connected in the country. It made sense to the CIA, and I'm SURE they know more than YOU what qualifications were required. If the Libby trail proves ANYTHING, it's that Cheney and the Bushies were out to GET Wilson for not supporting his crucial lie that Saddam was pursuing a nuclear weapon after the '91 war. "We don't want the warning to come in the form of a mushroom cloud."
