The two are his wife's role in his selection and his assertions about Iraq wishing to buy yellowcake uraninium. I gather you are calling the version in the Senate Intelligence Committee report, "the facts" and Wilson's version and the refusal of the Dems to sign off, you are calling spin.

As the "Post" article I just posted says, Wilson's original claim was that his wife had nothing to do with his selection. Now that we know that is wrong, he now says she did not "select" him, which was never claimed.

Secondly, the report states that his information back was that Iraq had contacted Niger. He said at the time that this was not true. He also admits that Cheney was not briefed about his report, which he swore before he was.

All of this is in the main report that the Dem Senators and Dem staff signed off on. This is the issue, not the distractions Wilson and Josh keep bringing up that were not at issue when Wilson started this. None of this is "Right wing," read it in the report. Please remember it. I am getting tired of posting it, but you refuse to acknowledge it. THE STAFF AND THE SENATORS DID SIGN OFF ON IT!

Here is a comment by Ed at "Captain's Quarters."

Marshall has reached the tipping point on his credibility. If he continues to shill for Wilson, a completely exposed partisan and liar, he will share in Wilson's disgrace, and the blogosphere will not soon let him live it down.
