Any one see this? Wilson is now saying he made the whole thing up: Monday Sept. 29, 2003; 2:16 p.m. EDT 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." newsmax.com

writing in such left-wing publications I remember reading about his BG when the story first broke. I could not figure out who sent him to Niger or why. This is all going to get drowned in the "What did he know and," type of charges.

For example, Mr. Wilson had long been a bitter critic of the current administration, writing in such left-wing publications as The Nation that under President Bush, "America has entered one of it periods of historical madness"... LIE!!! That was a John le Carre line that Wilson quoted in the Nation article. thenation.com I notice NewsMax published the same lie earlier today. Or was this just one of today's talking points? I'm through with lies from lying liars!!!!!!!!!!!! (Thanks Al Franken and Joe Conason) <g>
