Wilson/Niger summary

[MattNC]

Can anyone give me an objective summary of the latest on the Wilson/Niger situation? I quit following it for a while and tried to pick back up with it after he was accused of lying by the Senate intel committee, but I'm still a little lost as to where it stands now.

3. David Corn's excellent rebut of the Bashing of Joe Wilson.

"Wilson's detractors on the right claim the critical issue is Wilson's credibility on two points: whether his wife was involved in the decision to send him to Niger and whether he accurately portrayed his findings regarding his Niger trip. And they have made use of the Senate intelligence report -- particularly additional comments filed by committee chairman Pat Roberts and two other Republican members of the committee, Kit Bond and Orrin Hatch -- to pound Wilson. But not only does the get-Wilson crusade ignore the main question -- did White House officials break the law and damage national security to take a swing at a critic? -- it overstates and manipulates the material in the Senate report."
