Back on August 27, I quoted Al Franken, who said, “Joe Wilson, the former Gabon ambassador, was sent to Niger by the CIA and came back and said the uranium claims weren’t true. And when the controversy started broiling again about the 16 words in the State of the Union address and Wilson wrote the piece in New York Times, senior administration officials blew the cover on his wife, who was a covert [CIA] operative.”
It took a while, but this is finally being investigated. Should be interesting….
I love how the article ends:
“The focus on Rove brought an odd twist to Bush’s travels. When the president boarded Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington, he walked up the steps and waved ó and not a single camera followed. He looked momentarily perplexed. All lenses were trained on Rove at the bottom of the steps.”
Ouch.
