"I also don’t know why Wilson’s defenders accuse the White House of “smearing” him. What was the smear? Was it a smear to say that Wilson got the Niger assignment, at least in part, because his wife recommended him? If so, then the Senate committee “smeared” him, too. If not, what is the smear?"

I've been trying to make this point for the last year. How was mentioning that Wilson's wife recommended him for the assignment supposed to discredit him, punish him, or smear him? The whole premise of the Dems' argument is based on a non sequitor. And I certainly don't buy the wacko idea that the White House was trying to jeopardize Plame's safety.
