So what? On the big questions, Wilson was right: The Iraqis were not trying to buy uranium from Niger, and indeed had no nuclear program. Bush was doing whatever he could to scare people about non-existent Iraqi WMD. Wilson was one of the first with inside knowledge to blow the whistle. So what if his face is red? He's not the story.
