  • The Ambassador And His Wife

    The story of the Ambassador, his wife and a rumored sale of vast amounts of uranium couldn’t have been written any better by the likes of Graham Greene or John LeCarre. Unfortunately for the Ambassador and his wife, a small case of fiction from the State of the Union turned into a sour case of reality. The wife, a CIA operative, had her identity revealed by none other than a source in the White House. Her husband, Joseph Wilson, retaliated. The result of which is his memoir, The Politics of Truth.
