View that Rove wanted to discredit Joseph Wilson by leaking the identity of an agent who is Wilson's wife, CIA officer Valerie Plame; How this incident is connected to the U.S. claim that Iraq was buying uranium yellowcake from Niger; View of Frank Rich of the "New York Times" that Americans were sent to the Iraq War on false grounds; Background on the smear campaign, the justification for war, the Niger uranium allegation, and the policy of preventive military strikes; Idea that the Vietnam War was also part of a misguided nuclear strategy.
