For those wanting a few more fact nuggets on Wilson, this bio on the Saudi funded MEI site has a couple of note widely noted tidbits:

“He was one of the principal architects of President Clinton¬ís historic trip to Africa in March 1998.”

“In 1985-1986, he served in the offices of Senator Albert Gore and the House Majority Whip, Representative Thomas Foley…”

Given this background one might legitimately wonder what plums were dangled before him and what assurances of “complete support” he received prior to his NYT harikiri piece.
