http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20031005/pl_afp/us_iraq_cia&cid=1521&ncid=1473WASHINGTON (AFP) - Former ambassador Joseph Wilson again took aim Sunday at the White House over the leak that his wife was a covert CIA agent, which he claimed was designed to suppress criticism of pre-war intelligence on Iraq.
"I believe it was done to discourage others from coming forward," Wilson told NBC television.
The controversy over the leak has mushroomed into an FBI-led investigation seeking to determine who revealed Wilson's wife's name, which could violate a law against outing covert intelligence agents.
At issue is who told a reporter that former ambassador Joseph Wilson's wife was a CIA agent, amid speculation that doing so may have been retaliation after the diplomat charged publicly that the case for war with Iraq was exaggerated.
