Wilson denied trip was "CIA trip" at least twice

Joe Wilson stated "No. This was not a CIA mission" and "My trip out there, by the way, was not a CIA trip" in two separate interviews.

Of course, we now know that it was a CIA trip. The whole allegation appears to be based on this memo.

The memo, which discussed allegations that Iraq tried to buy uranium in Africa, notes that Plame attended a meeting about sending her husband, a retired career diplomat with a background in African and Iraqi affairs, to look into the claims, according to the government sources. - CNN article linked above about the alleged memo


This conflicts with the Men's Daily link above, as well, where Joe Wilson states outright that his wife had nothing to do with sending him to Niger and that she did not suggest him.
