“On July 6, 2003, he [former Ambassador Joseph Wilson] told his story [of investigating the possible Niger/Iraq uranium deal] in his own name for the first time in an op-ed published in the New York Times. He acknowledged that he ‘never saw’ the forgeries [that claimed the Niger/Iraq link], and he later conceded the same point in an appearance on television [on Meet the Press that evening].”
