I would be interested in your thoughts about Wilson's conduct in comparison to, say, Martha Stewart. Why is no one speaking of indictments for lying to a federal government commission investigating an attack on the nation, falsely accusing the president about WMD issues involving war and national security, etc.?

The only "lying under oath" that Wilson engaged in was his testimony before the 9/11 Commission. My understanding is that all of his other statements both in and outside of the government were NOT under oath.

So, the only perjury that Wilson can be charged with is lying to the Commission. And prosecuting that is up to the Commission itself, not to any established prosecutor or US Attorney.

I doubt that the Commission will prefer charges against Wilson because the White House will quietly pass the word not to turn this turkey into a Democratic martyr. IMHO.
