Joe Wilson Smear

Josh Marshall sums it up: "So France, Italy and the United States each had reports about the alleged Iraq-Niger sales. And each stemmed from the same source -- the forged documents, the origins of which the SSCI chose not to investigate.

The documents weren't peripheral. They were central, though precisely how and why only emerged over time."

In short no one chose to question the source of the documents, now shown to be forged. How is this Wilson's fault? He told them.
