Attention Journalists

One of the continued attempts to slur Ambassador Joseph Wilson is to paint him as a partisan Democrat. He may be, I have no idea, but there are repeated references to him as a "Clinton Appointee." He was a Clinton appointee, but he also worked for Reagan and Bush I.

From 1988 to 1991, Ambassador Wilson served in Baghdad, Iraq as Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy. During “Desert Shield” he was the acting Ambassador and was responsible for the negotiations that resulted in the release of several hundred American hostages. He was the last official American to meet with Saddam Hussein before the launching of “Desert Storm.”


So, cut the crap. Besides, what any of this has to do with the fact that a SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICAL accused TWO SENIOR WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS of breaching our national security I have no idea.
