65. Who ever said that it was done to punish Wilson?
Edited on Mon Oct-10-05 09:26 PM by drm604
It was done to discredit Wilson, not to punish him. They're setting up a straw man and then denying it (one of their favorite tactics).

Actually, there were probably two reasons for it - to discredit Wilson and to expose Brewster Jennings (a CIA front company) thus crippling a CIA WMD program lest it contradict the administration's claims.
