Joseph Wilson: Liar

Filed under: Election 2004 — Patterico @ 1:22 pm

To the list of proven liars who have criticized Bush (e.g. Dick Clarke), add the name Joseph Wilson. As Power Line reports, Wilson lied about the contents of his report to the CIA, lied about whether his wife recommended him for the Niger trip, and dissembled about whether he (and his wife) ever took seriously the allegations of a Niger-uranium connection.

When you put this together with the Financial Times’s confirmation of the Niger-uranium story, we shouldn’t be hearing much more about the infamous “sixteen words” this election season.

  1. I’m sure we’ll see Pg A-1 corrections, right? After all, Joe “Bush and Cheney lied” got more than his share of pub before. His publisher should sue his ass for his fee, seeing as how only panicked Ombudsmen and historical researchers studying public lies will be buying that doorstop in the future

  4. If someone wants to call me a liar and back it up, let him do so.

    If someone calls me a liar and cannot back it up, I will assume he is trying to get banned from yet another blog.

    Mark York, put up or I’ll shut you up. I am not scared of debate, but I will not tolerate mindless and unsupported insults. First and last warning.

  5. Maeshall addressed it. You bought part of it. I wonder when the rest of the sale will occur?

  6. Not true — if you can read, you will see I say that Marshall’s points undercut part of the story if true.
