I don't care to defend every statement Wilson made. As I've said before, I haven't bothered to read his book or anything. But we know now there was no Iraqi nuclear program, and so it's a little odd to hear you guys trying to explain why it was reasonable to think that the Iraqis were trying to buy yellowcake from Niger. The fact is, they weren't.

QUESTION:
"Did the former Niger prime minister meet with any Iraqi officials in June 1999?"
In brief:
1. Wilson says “yes” during his private CIA debrief in March, 2002.
2. Wilson fails to mention the meeting in his NYT op/ed and his first “Meet the Press” in July, 2003.
3. Wilson lies and says “no” during a “Frontline” PBS Interview in August, 2003.
4. Wilson lies and says “no” twice during his second “Meet the Press” interview in October, 2003.
5. Wilson says “yes” during his third “Meet the Press” interview in May, 2004.
6. Wilson says “yes” to SSCI committee staff --report released in July, 2004.
