I have tremendous admiration for the team that put together the Desert Storm operation and I was proud to be in charge of the embassy in Baghdad and to contribute to that effort.

The fact is, I was not sent out to question what British intelligence might have, I was sent out to question the allegation that Saddam Hussein had attempted to purchase several hundred tons of uranium oxide from Niger.

That said, if we allow ourselves to be intimidated and silenced by the liars, our democracy will not survive. We have to continue to confront them.

Giving the same value to fiction as to fact in the interest of so-called fairness is to mislead the American people and the press has become party to that.

Unless the press is prepared to work at it we will continue to be bamboozled by administrations, and people like me who are prepared to speak out will become rare species indeed.

I think what has happened as a consequence of what was done to my wife is that people in the CIA have felt there's been breach of trust.

Most of my close friends are Republicans.

I think it's time for the people and the press, in particular, to be more vigilant about not giving equal weight to lies as they give the truth.

As to the memo, I knew nothing about it other than a Post journalist had told me there was one circulating which he characterized as having been written by somebody who was not at the meeting where I was asked if I would be willing to go to Niger.

The government serves the people - not vice-versa.

Somebody close to the President of the United States decided that in order to defend Bush's political agenda, that individual or individuals would violate the national security of the country and expose my wife's name and her profession.

But secondly, with respect to this idea of diplomats not rocking the boat, I think it's important to understand that the American diplomatic service is full of people who are patriots, and who serve their country with great distinction.

When a government goes to war, particularly a democracy, it is the most solemn and awesome responsibility of our leaders - to decide to send our kids to go off and kill and die for us.

The war on Iraq was a disaster, clearly carried out under false pretences.

I'm proud of the service to my country.
