Conference on World Affairs participant Joseph Wilson spoke Thursday at the University of Colorado at Boulder on the topic "The Politics of Truth."
Wilson's talk from 9:30-11:30 a.m. today in Macky Auditorium on the CU-Boulder campus focused on the controversy surrounding his wife, retired CIA Operative Valerie Plame-Wilson, who is at the center of a Justice Department investigation to determine who was involved in disclosing her identity to reporters in the spring of 2003.
The investigation resulted in the criminal indictment of Vice President Dick Cheney's former Chief of Staff Lewis Libby. He was charged with impeding the investigation including obstruction of justice, making false statements to investigators and perjury in testimony before a federal grand jury. Libby was convicted on March 6 on four of five counts.
