On TV last night (the WETA show Inside Washington), Charles Krauthammer repeated the claim that Joe Wilson lied about Cheney sending him to Niger. I think he said that was the important thing about the Libbey trial, that Wilson lied.
I looked up the Times Op-Ed “What I Didn’t Find in Africa”. It says “I was informed by officials at the Central Intelligence Agency that Vice President Dick Cheney’s office had questions” and “agency officials asked if I would travel to Niger to check out the story so they could provide a response”. It does not claim that Cheney sent Wilson.
Why does Krauthammer repeat this lie? Why did no one on the panel call him on it?
Does someone know where one can find transcripts for this show. It doesn’t surprise me that Krauthammer is still peddling this lie. But it would nice to have the proof in hand.
