Dear Mr. Rich:

The title of your book, The Greatest Story Ever Sold, applies to your columns about the Joe Wilson matter. You falsely portrayed him as a victim of an organized White House conspiracy when he misrepresented the findings of his own investigation into the Iraq-uranium link. There was no White House conspiracy and the prosecutor never charged anybody with deliberately trying to hurt Wilson or his wife. You are the one who damaged reputations with your Lyndon LaRouche-type analysis of the Wilson case. You owe Karl Rove and others an apology.
