Transcript Of Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV's Interview With CLG
The Citizens for Legitmate Government (CLG) website has an insightful interview with Joseph C. Wilson IV. The former Ambassador, who was the U.S. envoy to Iraq when former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, got on the Bush Administration's bad side when he publicly challenged the administration's false assertions that Mr. Hussein had sought to buy yellow cake uranium from the African nation of Niger. As punishment, the Administration deliberately exposed his wife, Valerie Plame, as an undercover CIA agent.
The documents the administration relied on were forgeries. Nevertheless, they were used in an attempt to bolster false claims that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. That's the pretext used to launch the formal invasion and occupation of Iraq.
To read the CLG interview, see "Joseph Wilson on Bush Crowd: "A Real Threat to Our Republic."
