Look who’s signed on to a prominent position in John Kerry’s campaign—Joseph Wilson, the wacko far left husband of CIA officer Valerie Plame, whose unsubstantiated charge that the Bush administration “outed” his wife led to a short-lived political brouhaha last year.

The career diplomat and senior director for Africa policy for the National Security Council during the Clinton administration has campaigned for the Democratic presidential front-runner in at least six states. Mr. Wilson has also been offering the Massachusetts candidate speechwriting tips.

A two-day visit to Seattle last week, just a day before the state’s Democratic caucuses, illustrates the role Mr. Wilson will play as the Kerry campaign ramps up.

“We went to war under false pretenses and that is becoming abundantly clear to the American people,” he told hundreds of students during a foreign policy forum at the University of Washington. “I don’t care who you vote for, but get out there and caucus. Don’t leave it to the neoconservatives and evangelical Christians,” Mr. Wilson said.

Note, however, that there appears to have been some sanitizing done at the Education for Peace in Iraq Center web site; the page with information about Joseph Wilson’s association with EPIC and the MP3 audio file of his loony speech have been removed. (I do, however, have a copy of both in my archives, because I had a feeling they might disappear.)

UPDATE: Joseph Wilson’s speech is still available at the EPIC web site in MP3 format. (Hat tip: evariste.)
