I have an update on For The Dream... it's long (over 3000 words) about Joseph Wilson.

Interesting fact: in all of the articles in which he's alleged to have lied about debunking the documents, he's never quoted directly on the matter. It's always someone else claiming that he did so. The one time he speaks about the documents in his own words, he insists he never saw them.

(So why did he suggest he may have misspoke to the Senate investigation? He hadn't seen the specific articles in a long time; he had no idea what they'd attributed to him at the time. The articles themselves are confusing, because they attribute unnamed officials speaking about an unnamed ex-ambassador... I'm not surprised he had a hard time remembering what he was supposed to have said, and who claimed he said it!)

It's really pretty scary how clean the story of Joseph Wilson once you do some real digging.
