Mrs. Wilson's husband, former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, has alleged in various interviews and subsequent writings (as listed in his 2004 memoir The Politics of Truth) that members of President George W.

State of the Union Address
In late February 2002, responding to inquiries from the Vice President's office and the Departments of State and Defense about the allegation that Iraq had a sales agreement to buy uranium in the form of yellowcake from Niger, the CIA had authorized a trip by Joseph C. Wilson to Niger to investigate the possibility. The former Prime Minister of Niger Ibrahim Hassane Mayaki reported to Wilson that he was unaware of any contracts for uranium sales to rogue states, though he was approached by a businessman on behalf of an Iraqi delegation about "expanding commercial relations" with Iraq, which Mayaki interpreted to mean uranium sales. Wilson ultimately concluded that there "was nothing to the story," and gave a verbal debriefing to CIA personnel, which was used in a later report which the Senate inquiry found did not get back to the Vice President.
