Who fucking cares? Is Wilson running the country? No.
eta: sgtclub posted the other night about how the board is much more polarized than it used to be, and I agreed that it mirrored the country this way. Your post is a perfect example of how and why Rove et al. push this polarization. You seem to think that there are only two positions in this debate, and that if you can trash Wilson then you win. Who fucking cares about whether Wilson told the truth about this stuff? You can think that Wilson is an opportunist who likes the spotlight a little too much and who can't keep his story straight over time, and still think that he was right to call attention to the Administration's scaremongering about Niger uranium, and that Rove et al. were wrong to defenestrate his wife. The polarization is designed to make sure there are only two sides, so that the attack politics work.
I asked you the other day how Rove could have known when he was talking to Cooper and Novak that Wilson was a partisan hack. You've ducked that question. Wilson's many actions and words since then aren't an answer.
