1. The CIA memo from Plame recmmonding Joe Wilson for the trip. This memo was 
uncovered by the Senate investigation. The contents of the memo are directly in 
contradiction to Joe Wilson's public statements that his wife had nothing to do 
with him being sent to Niger. That is direct evidence. See the Senate report 
link below, page 39.

2. and 3. According to the same Senate report, the forged documents that Wilson 
criticized were not in CIA hands until months after his trip. Here is the link 
to the Senate document:

And the relevant text on Page 72

K. Niger Conclusions
(U) Conlusion 12. Until October 2002 when the Intelligence Community obtained 
the forged foreign language documents on the Iraq-Niger uranium deal, it was 
reasonable for analysts to assess that Iraq may have been seeking uranium from 
Africa based on Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reporting and other available 
intelligence.

(U) Conclusion 13. The report on the former ambassador's trip to Niger, 
disseminated in March 2002, did not change any analysts' assessments of the 
Iraq-Niger uranium deal. For most analysts, the information in the report lent 
more credibility to the original Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reports on 
the uranium deal, but State Department Bureau of Intelligence and Research 
(INR) analysts believed that the report supported their assessment that Niger 
was unlikely to be willing or able to sell uranium to Iraq.

Unfortunately there is a bunch of stuff blacked out, but it makes clear that 
Wilson was blowing a lot of smoke in his NY Times Op-Ed piece, and the people 
at the CIA didn't agree with him.
