Statement of Ambassador Joseph Wilson with Respect to the Indictment
Bull Moose reacts to the indictments:
While others may spin these indictments as being about the war, the Moose views these charges about integrity and honor in government. Five years ago this President pledged to bring honor and dignity to the office. Today, we witnessed yet another example of how this President and this Administration violated that commitment. That is the message that Democrats should convey.
