WASHINGTON — The congressional ethics investigation of Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., is broader than previously disclosed and goes well beyond his use of $12 in per diem expense money to buy six decorative goblets in Afghanistan last year.

Congressional staff members with detailed knowledge of the probe said ethics investigators are examining Wilson's unusually high number of foreign trips — at least 30 in the past eight years — and his use of per diem expense money while traveling abroad.

Well- I have not heard anyone come out and say 'Wilson is not a drug runner'

Or 'Wilson is not a human slave trader'. That leaves some pretty serious questions unanswered.
