It all started when Cooper's documents made it clear the White House had been lying when they said Rove wasn't involved.

Exactly. Ignore the reasons why Plame came up in the first place (nepotism).

I find it hard to believe that you think someone would be angling to take an unpaid trip to Niger. My cousin was in the Peace Corps there, and let me tell you that there are very few more godforsaken places in the world.
And the suggestions -- Rove's suggestion to Cooper -- that Plame made the decision to send Wilson is wrong. The CIA says so. So stop suggesting otherwise.

If that's all he did (call attention to scaremongering), I wouldn't have much of a problem. Recall that he was calling for Rove to frogmarched out of DC in cuffs a long, long time ago.

I repeat: So what?

I'm not ducking anything. It's a simple answer.
In June and July on 2003, before his NYT signed op-ed and during the time he was talking to Kristof, Wilson was going around to anyone and everyone in DC that would listen that (i) contrary to his original report, there were no Niger-Iraq meetings and (ii) that documents were forged, even though he hadn't seen them.
Why would a Gore supporter and husband of a CIA worker (who- even before his trip deemed the Niger connection as "crazy" ) make such statements? The only justifiable answer is "partisan hack"
