16. From Wilson's book
he discusses a pre-war article he wrote; he sent a copy to Brent Scowcroft.

"Brent called me when he received the article. He kindly asked if he could 'take it over to the White House,' only about two blocks from his downtwn office. He said that he thought senior officials ought to read the views of someone who actually had experience in Iraq and with Saddam's government." (page 296)

This was the same article that Wilson sent Bush1, who responded that he "agreed with almost everything" Wilson wrote.

Presently, the Bush2 administration would have us believe they had never heard of Ambassador Wilson.
