This was a smear campaign against Wilson, but saying nasty things about someone isn't illegal. Violating the law by publicizing classified information, now THAT'S more relevant. The Senate intelligence committee, the same one that said our intelligence gathering was sloppy, also said that any assumptions made by Bush over Niger were reasonale. They also dismissed Joe Wilson's now infamous NY Times editorial, because the accusations he makes couldn't be totally verified by fact.
Do I believe Saddam bought viable yellow cake for weapons purposes? No. Do I think Joe Wilson could've been 100% sure of this? No..

I'm not saying that everything he insinuates is 100% correct or verfiable but, if you read between the lines, he must have been onto something bigger than he could handle (didn't have the resources?). Why else would they have gone after his wife and not the man himself based on the merits of his investigation?
