Missing in Action: Truth

By Nicholas D. Kristof, New York Times, May 6, 2003

The Vanity Fair article said: In early May, Wilson and Plame attended a conference sponsored by the Senate Democratic Policy Committee, at which Wilson spoke about Iraq; one of the other panelists was the New York Times journalist Nicholas Kristof. Over breakfast the next morning with Kristof and his wife, Wilson told about his trip to Niger and said Kristof could write about it, but not name him. At this point what he wanted, Wilson says, was for the government to correct the record. "I felt that on issues as important to our whole society as sending our sons and daughters to kill and die for our national security we as a society and our government have a responsibility to our people to ensure that the debate is carried out in a way that reflects the solemnity of the decision being taken," he says

Say, I had not seen that May Kristof piece. Thanks.

I have seen the Vanity Fair piece and have seen his explanation that he just had a desire for the government to "come clean". Sounds more like putting the plan into action.

From Kristoff in May 2003:

But there are indications that the U.S. government souped up intelligence,

That is almost exactly the time the British press was gathering their "sexed up" dossier story. As I've noted, an almost identical charge, both of which have been disproven factually, which of course does not stop the lefist spin.
