Remember = Joe Wilson's report was not the ONLY report on Niger...
two other reports were done on the Uranium/Niger/Iraq fiction.

One by the US Ambassador to Niger and one by a US Marine Corps General. Both reported the same exact thing as Joe Wilson.

There was NO connection between Iraq/Niger/Uranium

3. CNN is saying that Wilson never wrote a report, merely reported
by phone and by cable. That can't be right, can it?

5. He didn't write the report. He was debriefed
by the person who wrote the report.

6. ok, that makes more sense then
they were saying that he didn't report other than a cable and a phone call. I thought it sounded like bullshit.

Thanks!

4. Seems Cheney wasn't satisfied though and hoping for a different report
State Dept had already concluded no connection but Cheney apparently kept pushing CIA for another report (in hopes that might substantiate the bogus claim.)

7. Wilson was asked to go because they believed
he would go along with their program? After all he was a loyal repub, worked in 41's admin. Either he was set up so they could use him as cover when exposing the Plame/Brewster Jennings operation or cheney felt betrayed when he came back with the same answer as the other two did.
