CIA agent's naming led to giant hoax... (for Fly Boy)

THE rogues' gallery of those who acted badly in the CIA "leak" case turns out to be different from what the media led us to expect.
Note that we put the word "leak" in quotation marks, because it's clear now that there was no leak at all, just idle talk, and certainly there was no smear campaign against former US ambassador Joseph Wilson for criticising President George W.Bush's Iraq policy.

It's as if a giant hoax were perpetrated on the country - by the media, by partisan opponents of the Bush administration, even by several Bush subordinates who betrayed the President and their White House colleagues.

The hoax lingered for three years and is only now being fully exposed for what it was. Let's start at the top of the rogues' list:

Joseph Wilson, an ex-ambassador and National Security Council official in the Clinton and first Bush administrations, sparked the "leak" controversy in the first place by writing in The New York Times that Bush had lied in his 2003 State of the Union address about Saddam Hussein's seeking uranium in Africa for nuclear weapons.
The CIA had sent Wilson to Niger in 2002 to check out precisely that point, and he claimed to have debunked it.

Later, the Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that nearly everything Wilson wrote or said about Bush, Cheney, Iraq, and his own trip to West Africa was untrue. Wilson was a fraud.

I blame the hoax on Bush & Cheney and that rascal Rove. They just did it to make the MSM look bad.

Its an Aussie newspaper... can you really expect anything good from ol Rupert. I mean this paper is owned by the same person that owns Fox News.

Not to mention, those Australians live upside down anyway. All the blood has rushed to their head.

actually, it appears that the article is merely a reprint from the conservative mag "The Weekly Standard" from the good old US.
