Note -- the link takes you to the Salon site where you have to endure watching an ad to get the full text, so I sacrificed myself and have posted the entire letter so y'all don't have to. BTW, the ad is for the Salon cruise with Wilson.

Thanks for the ping but what I know about this matter, aside from the fact that Wilson is a liar, would fit on the head of a ping.

Cyncooper - Wilson has written a public letter to the Republican members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Salon's been carrying water for Wilson since the report was released. If they insist, however, on digging the hole deeper, they're more than welcome to.

From David Corn's defense of Wilson in The Nation, 7/17/04

http://www.thenation.com/capitalgames/index.mhtml?bid=3&pid=1558

"The [Senate] report also notes, 'On February 19, 2002, CPD hosted a meeting with the former ambassador, intelligence analysts from both the CIA and INR [the State Department's intelligence unit], and several individuals from the [Directorate of Operations'] Africa and CPD divisions. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the merits of [Wilson] traveling to Niger. An INR analyst's notes indicate that the meeting was "apparently convened by [Wilson's] wife who had the idea to dispatch [him] to use his contacts to sort out the Iraq-Niger uranium issue.[sic, "] The former ambassador's wife told Committee staff that she only attended the meeting to introduce her husband and left after about three minutes.'"

I've heard about this memo before, I think from Jeff Gannon at Talon News, but had not seen it attributed to the State Dept INR.

By all means.
The WAPO buys ink by the barrell, but apparently, Wilson/Plame aren't really interested in having this go public - they're just window dressing to Kerry's base.

No problem. I visit the threads but the lies he's told are so numerous I have a hard time keeping up!

He could have saved a lot of time by merely writing the following:

Dear Senators,

Don't believe what your eyes, all the intelligence services and the written record show as the truth. Believe me.

Sincerely, (more or less)

Joe

ps--honest!

pps--"You know who" said to tell you hello.

"Salon's been carrying water for Wilson since the report was released. If they insist, however, on digging the hole deeper, they're more than welcome to."

That "squeal" you are hearing is the bucket being passed to the "without honor", "the rich were born to enslave", Jay Rockefeller.

When he trips, perhaps his head will get stuck in the bucket, causing him to kick it. ;)

That's the general Democrat Party idea, isn't it. ;)

The question is this: Does anyone really believe that without his wife's intervention that Wilson would have been given an assignment to Niger?

This letter describes a liar. The more he tries to justify his lies the deeper he gets. CRATS us the same tech. They have motor mouths and think that the faster they talk to convince, the more I shut the jacka@@es off.

Instead of blowing smoke up everybody elses arse, old Joe is now blowing smoke up his own arse. Rather comical to observe.

During the sinkEmperor's rule, the democrat party leadership learned that layering of lies has the effect to persuade dupes that the first few layers of lies are true. Expect even more this year since the democrat party is gleefully/hatefully sacrificing itself for the empowerment of George Soros, et al.

Like a five-year-old with a cookie crumbs all over his face who denies getting into the chocolate chips, Joe "Isuzu" Wilson has been caught lying through his teeth. Now he is compounding his lies in the pages of Salon (quelle surprise).

I would rather go on a cruise with the Sopranos, than Wilson, Conason, Richards, etc. Both groups could be expected to be lying lawbreakers, but the Sopranos would be far more interesting, with better taste in dinner specialties. LOL.
