Gimme the cites to support your assertions. We know what's in the Wilson report, because he splattered it all over the newspaper, contrary to everything the CIA and its operatives stand for. You don't even see what an F'ing joke this is: The CIA retains Wilson, a partisan non-expert, to conduct a mission, without a secrecy agreement. He goes there, paid for expenses only, and doesn't find anything to contradict his wife's or his own political leanings. Conveniently, no written retainer, so the exact obligation and scope of his "mission" is ambiguous. Then, conveniently, no written report, and no obligation to keep silent, because it wasn't an official mission. LOL. If the Bush Administration made a mistake in all of that, it was its failure to expose the Wilson politically-motivated boondoggle for what it is. Meanwhile, when I googled Wilson CIA report, it appropriately turned up the following: Here is crux of the issue: "The Wilson story excites journalists because it accuses the Bush administration of abusing its powers for political advantage – and there is nothing that journalists enjoy more than abuse-of-power stories, at least during Republican administrations. The Wilson story ratifies journalists’ prejudices, and so journalists revel in it." LOL.
