"argue with this..." Easy enough. 1) Non-answer from Cheney. Wilson did not claim that Cheney asked that he be personally sent to Niger. He claimed that Cheney's office sourced a request that the CIA verify those claims. Now Joe also thinks that Cheney himself and not just the office sourced that request. The CIA verified that they sent Joe, although Tenet says it was done at a lower level than he. 2)Joe said he believed that the report was passed on to senior administration. Others claim it wasn't. Not sure what this was supposed to prove, but... 3) It might be true that his report was lacking. However, Condi herself has stated at least once that the belief of the yellow cake in the Niger was in error. The Butler Report stated that it is credible that Iraq tried to source yellow cake. It also states there wasn't any credible evidence that they actually did. Much the same as Joe concluded. news.bbc.co.uk I could go on. Much of this hammers on extraneous points or uses only partial information. None of it addresses the fact that Rove outed a covert agent for petty political reasons.
