Joseph Wilson, a diplomat who defied the Bush Admin. over Iraq, dies at 69
as apparent payback for his defiance of the Bush administration during the run-up to the Iraq War, died Friday."It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of a true American hero — Ambassador Joe Wilson," Plame said in a statement."He had the heart of a lion and the courage to match."
A former ambassador to Gabon who had spent much of his 23-year diplomatic career working in Africa, Wilson was a private citizen at the time.He was stunned when President George W. Bush declared in his January 2003 State of the Union Address that the British government had learned that Hussein “recently bought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.
Vice President Dick Cheney and others in the Bush administration were outraged. And a week later, syndicated columnist Robert Novak wrote a column that blew Plame's cover as a CIA operative to discredit Wilson and that torpedoed her career in the process.
