Congressman Conyers:Outrageous ABC/Washington Post Conglomerate

[cal04]

I couldn't let this pass. The Washington Post's editorial page yesterday made the outrageous claim that Ambassador Joe Wilson never provided the White House with information to debunk the Administration's fabricated Niger-Iraq uranium connection, and that Wilson, himself, was responsible for the outing of his wife.


It now appears that the person most responsible for the end of Ms. Plame's CIA career is Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson chose to go public with an explosive charge, claiming -- falsely, as it turned out -- that he had debunked reports of Iraqi uranium-shopping in Niger and that his report had circulated to senior administration officials.


I just don't see how any reputable news source could make this claim. This is nothing short of Republican Party propaganda. And patently false.

One can only guess who penned this piece. Was it Bob Woodward, the Post columnist who held onto the secret of who outed Plame for three years because he didn't think it was newsworthy? Is this a bit of revisionist history on the pages of the Post?

Let's keep in mind that this editorial comes from the same ABC-WaPo conglomerate that will be airing a right-wing produced 9/11 TV docudrama that purports to be based upon the 911 Commission, exonerates Bush of any failings related to that fateful day, and puts the blame on Clinton and his administration.

While I have yet to see the film, few doubts are evident about its content and its political motive. The film's producer has been promoting this all over the right wing blogs.
