You’ve got to hand it to Joe Wilson. He has certainly cashed in on his celebrity as he tours college campuses making ludicrous statements. Wilson is also someone who is curiously forgetful about facts that involve his behavior and those surrounding his trip to Niger. ”It seems to me that first and foremost, the White House needs to come clean on this matter,” Wilson told George Stephanopoulos on ABC‘s ”This Week.” ”My own view of this is that the White House owes the American people and particularly our service people who have been sent into war, an apology for having misrepresented the facts.” In case you forgot, Joe Wilson once claimed a role in exposing the Iraq-Niger documents as forgeries. But that wasn’t true, as the Senate’s 2004 bipartisan Report on the U.S. Intelligence Community’s Prewar Intelligence Assessments on Iraq pointed out: Page 45

And media reports to the contrary, Wilson did not “debunk” the claim that Iraq was seeking uranium. In fact, most intelligence analysts believed his trip “lent more credibility” to reports that Iraq was seeking uranium from Niger, and the CIA continued to approve the use of the Iraq-Niger-Uranium language “in Administration publications and speeches, including the State of the Union.” The same Senate report states: Conclusion 13 (page 73)
