BREAKING: Joseph Wilson, the former ambassador who disputed U.S. intelligence that was used to justify the Iraq invasion, has died at 69. His ex-wife, Valerie Plame, called him a 'patriot' with 'the heart of a lion.'
SANTA FE, N.M. — The former ambassador who disputed U.S. intelligence on Iraq that was used to justify going to war has died. Joseph Wilson was 69.
Wilson’s ex-wife Valerie Plame confirmed in a text message that Wilson died Friday of organ failure in Santa Fe. She called him a “patriot” with “the heart of a lion.” Wilson traveled to Niger to investigate allegations Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein tried to purchase uranium and later alleged that the administration of President George W. Bush twisted prewar intelligence on Iraq to justify war.
Subsequently, Plame’s identity as a CIA operative was leaked in a scandal that led to the conviction of vice presidential aide Scooter B. Libby for lying to investigators and justice obstruction.
