I agree with you. You can parse Wilson's words all you want, but it is obvious that on July 6, 2003 (NYT Op-Ed) Wilson saw an opening to attack Bush/Cheney for partisan political purposes. He was clearly trying to create the impression that he went to Niger in response to a VP request and that the administration intentionally ignored or buried his report so they could invade Iraq. It was not too much later that Kerry picked him up as a advisor.

I am sure that Wilson was hoping to get an important position in the Kerry administration. He obviously was going nowhere in the State Department, which is why he left after only 22 years. Novak did Wilson a huge favor by mentioning his wife's name. Wilson has cashed in "big time" for a retired, undistinguished bureaucrat. He has made a lot of money for his 15 minutes of fame, which is now becoming 30 minutes.

Excellent overview of this story.

Wilson is transparent--we see through him so easily.

The sad thing is, so do those supporting him. They just don't care.
