A little history refresher on Joe Wilson for you: cnn.com "In 1991, the acting U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Joe Wilson, sheltered 800 Americans at the embassy in Baghdad during Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait. Twelve years later, Wilson was thrust back onto the international stage when he accused President Bush of misleading the American people into another war with Iraq."

re: All I'm saying is that Joe Wilson isn't exactly the "courageous whistleblower" that the media and the Dems are making him out to be. Come on man. "The media", and even the liberals, are not making him out to be a "courageous whistleblower". He's getting his ass kicked all over the place... the Republicans are making him out to be the second coming of the Devil. A liar, liar, liar that outed his own wife. The guy is being crucified. What you are saying is that because Joe Wilson is "suspect" (Republican spin), then the WH is innocent. Not the case. Regardless of what they can prove, Cheney did this thing. It's obvious. Libby did a bunch of uncharacteristic stuff with the leaks, he never did that stuff before. And then bald faced lied about where he got the information... put himself in extreme jeopardy to protect... whom? He was totally devoted to Cheney. This is a really smart guy... a really smart lawyer, lying to a GJ, over and over, you would almost think it was on purpose, when it could easily be proved that he was lying. He fell on the sword. I really don't want to hear this relativist crap that the WH is innocent because Wilson isn't perfect, because the Republican spin machine says Wilson, and of course his wife, isn't perfect. You really want to be associated with these scam artists? Or is that your highest expectation?
