US - New York Times Chickens Come Home

Tigerhawk has the details.

I like the part about Joe Wilson's lies.

According to the Senate Select Intelligence Committee Report, which has been banished from the pages of the NY Times (but which your hard-earned tax dollars paid for) Joseph Wilson lied about the following things:

- who recommended him for the junket (contrary to his assertions, it was his wife)
- who saw his report (according to sworn CIA testimony, his report was not shown to the White House because it "added nothing" to known intelligence
- whether it was even used in the SOTU address and in those "infamous 16 words" (it wasn't)
- whether Iraq, in fact, did try to get uranium from Niger:

The panel found that Wilson's report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts. And contrary to Wilson's assertions and even the government's previous statements, the CIA did not tell the White House it had qualms about the reliability of the Africa intelligence that made its way into 16 fateful words in President Bush's January 2003 State of the Union address.

Remind the Democrats of that every chance you get.
