...Wilson went to Niger to look for evidence of Iraq's interest in WMDs. Faced with the hard truth that neither Wilson nor the U.N. could prove that interest, the White House had no ammunition to rebut the charge that the Administration "lied our country into war." The White House, and the Vice President's office in particular, had to offer an alternate "message" instead: Wilson was sent by his wife...
