Dick Cheney sent Joseph Wilson to Niger in 2002 to confirm the
"intelligence." Joseph Wilson returned with the firm understanding
the
claims were unfounded and unsupportable.


Joseph Wilson sat in a ****in bar and asked a couple of shady
characters if they were gonna sell uranium to Iraq, they said no... He
put in his expence report and there you go.


Do you think Cheney picked a hack to investigate the situation?

Joseph Wilson is held in the highest regard by those in the diplomatic
community. He's always held his mud and knows his business. Based on
recent events, he was witnessed saying things that those close to him
would
never had expected. Clearly, it's based on his frustration with this
administration and their underhanded tactics.

We are lucky to have a gentleman with as much integrity as Joseph Wilson
working on behalf of our country.

Your remarks are unpatriotic.

And one could also say that condemning the administration, calling them
liars, asking for impeachment, etc, before all of the facts are out is also
unpatriotic.

Joe, the actions you describe fit our elected representatives, of both
parties, to a "tee". Are you suggesting that our Congress is
"unpatriotic"? )

More seriously, criticism is a patriotic act, whether we agree with
the criticism or not. I am registered to vote as a Republican, but
Mr. Bush lost my support when the Administration suggested that anyone
who disagreed with GWB's actions was "unpatriotic". What nonsense.
Have you read any works by Thomas Jefferson?

Scrutiny is the true protector of Liberty, no matter who sits in the
White House.
