Wilson (Plame) accuses President Bush's allies of trying to smear Sheehan
Yes, that's right the same Wilson whose wife was attacked is supporting Cindy Sheehan.

I saw the thread in LBN and think it's too good not to cross post.

Soldier's mother gains support of high-profile war critic

BY DAVID JACKSON

The Dallas Morning News

CRAWFORD, Texas - (KRT) - Cindy Sheehan's Texas vigil has drawn support from another high-profile Iraq war opponent - former ambassador Joseph Wilson, whose criticisms are at the heart of an ongoing grand jury investigation in Washington.

"This White House never wants an open public discussion, and it certainly never wants to be told that it is wrong," Wilson said, accusing President Bush's allies of trying to smear Sheehan. "It always tries to change the message by attacking the messenger."

White House officials denied such an effort Thursday, saying they only disagree with Sheehan's anti-war position.

Wilson is the former diplomat who challenged the administration's claim that Saddam Hussein had sought nuclear-use uranium from Niger - a challenge made after Wilson had conducted a government-backed fact-finding mission to the African nation.

3. I read this last night and
thought it was superlative!

Joe Wilson really lets it all hang out for the reader to follow nice and easy.

And it's in the Dallas Morning News..mainstream!

5. The Dallas Morning News covered this?!
This proves what I was thinking, they can't not give him (Wilson) media coverage since Cindy's so hot. This is a perfect way to spread both messages and help make the connection in the peoples mind.
