now attaboy, you were a good boy by not giving a link to a boonie-esque blog (have a biscuit)....but the editorial page of the online edition to the wall street journal is not news...it's opinion.

and you didn't back up your claim....how did wilson "drag his wife into this"? in case you've forgotten, you posted it at the top of this page.....and until you can do that, this week's absurdly revisionist trophy still belongs to you.

So we've heard the scenario of a pernicious Cheney seeking retribution against a diplomat doing his duty. Here's another scenario. Wilson lied when he said Cheney sent him to Africa. That's a fact. The White House investigated and found that Cheney didn't send him. So they released the facts that Cheney didn't send him, the CIA sent him and his wife who works for the CIA got him the assignment. That's a less sinister story. So by clearing up charges against Cheney they described what really happened. Did they know her status? Did anyone bother to check? I don't know. Wison's lie about Cheney drew attention to his wife because she, not Cheney, sent him. In other words people were saying "Cheney didn't send him. His wife got him the assignment." Doesn't that make more sense? And if doesn't make more sense it clearly describes how Wilson, the proven liar, got his wife mixed up in his intrigue.

Wilson is a liar who fantasizes about being a somebody, about making his mark in history, and about being a spy. The guy is a jerk. He's a fool and he made other's look like fools and he screwed up his wife's career because he is a liar who fantasizes about who he is. Should we send Wilson or George Souros or the Democratic National Committee the bill for this nonsense?

As far as the article coming from the opinion section of the Wall Street Journal can we really ask Wilson what his motives were? He's a proven liar. How can we trust anything which comes out of his mouth? The facts are he lied. He was jobless. His wife got him a job. Kerry gave him a job. He hoped to get a plum government job if he helped to get Kerry elected. The last sentence is opinion, but it's clear enough to me and this ain't science.

George "it's a slam dunk Mr. President" Tenet is a Clinton holdover. He sure helped to get Bush into a mess.
