Novak on Wilson

Robert Novak, who is at the center of the Valerie Plame controverys, has written an article on the recent Senate Intelligence Commitee findings that Joe Wilson pretty much lied his ass off.

Like Sherlock Holmes' dog that did not bark, the most remarkable aspect of last week's Senate Intelligence Committee report is what its Democratic members did not say. They did not dissent from the committee's findings that Iraq apparently asked about buying yellowcake uranium from Niger. They neither agreed to a conclusion that former diplomat Joseph Wilson was suggested for a mission to Niger by his CIA employee wife nor defended his statements to the contrary.
