“Speaking Truth to Power: The War in Iraq and the WMD Lie”

from the willamette website:

"On April 5th, Willamette Events Board-Issues and Controversies Committee will sponsor former Ambassador Joe Wilson to speak on campus in Smith auditorium. Ambassador Wilson was the diplomat sent to Niger in 2002 to investigate if Saddam Hussein was trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction. Upon returning to the U.S., he has been one of the most vocal critics of the Bush Administration, alleging that the WMD intelligence was “cooked” by CIA analysts to justify war with Iraq. His wife, Valerie Plame, was the clandestine CIA operative whose identity was disclosed, resulting in eventual indictment of Vice President Cheney’s chief of staff Lewis Libby. Lecture will last 30-45 minutes, and will be followed by 20-30 minutes of student Q and A."

I encourage you all to join this event. probably joe wilson is going to adress the issues colin powell dodged last december.
