"Two years ago, Ambassador Joe Wilson chose a forum in Seattle to suggest that presidential strategist Karl Rove was the leaker who had "outed" Wilson's wife as a CIA agent in retaliation for the ambassador's criticism of White House Iraq policy. "Wouldn't it be fun to see Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs?" he asked at that meeting.
Wilson was basking in vindication in an interview with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer last week. But he was finding new reasons for disgust at the hatchet job in which Bush higher-ups went after Wilson through his wife. "This has been a smear campaign that just keeps on giving," said Wilson, who served as ambassador to Gabon and chief U.S. diplomat in Baghdad during the days leading up to Gulf War I.
His career was launched right here -- while working as a carpenter in Sequim, Wilson came to Seattle for the exam that led to his 22-year Foreign Service career."-from Joel Connelly's column in today's P-I.
