Finally! Well, sort of..

FoxNews has an AP article about the Niger story and Wilson's lies, although they don't accuse Wilson of lying. At least they finally admit that there was solid intelligence supporting Bush's claim that the Iraqis were seeking uranium in Africa (Bush never said "Niger".)

ABCNews carried the story as well, as did NBC. Of course CBS doesn't have it. Nor does the NY Times. (No surprise there. Two of the most liberal media outlets in America aren't going to print news that's bad for their side unless they're forced to by overwhelming coverage, and even then it will be grudgingly.)

It remains to be seen if the "Bush lied" rhetoric will die down in the press, and it will interesting to see if this has any effect on polling numbers.

CORRECTION: The NY Times actually did carry the story, although it didn't make the front page like the original story did.
