A new piece from Murray Waas reveals yet another leak of a classified document to discredit Joseph Wilson. This document was a March 2002 CIA report, a “debriefing of Wilson by the CIA’s Directorate of Operations after Wilson returned from a CIA-sponsored mission to Niger to investigate claims.”

Cheney directed the leak on July 12, 2003 says Waas. This is in addition to the September 2002 National Intelligence Estimate, which was leaked with President Bush’s authorization.
