Wilson lied?
Kevin Drum tries to review the bidding and concludes that maybe Wilson lied, but so what?
Quote:
the evidence of outright falsehoods is fairly limited. He pretty clearly lied to Kristof, but corrected himself quite a long time ago, and he also lied about his wife's involvement in his trip — although it's hard to say by how much. Overall, I'd say his credibility as a source is definitely tattered, but perhaps not quite as thoroughly demolished as his enemies are claiming. It's hardly a Page 1 blockbuster.
....Wilson doesn't really matter much anymore except as political sport. The only real issue on the table right now is whether anyone in the Bush administration outed his wife as a CIA agent, and that's a matter under investigation by the FBI. Whether or not Wilson lied to the press about other matters doesn't really affect the legal case.
