In this 2007 photo, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Wilson, the diplomat who disputed prewar intelligence on Iraq and endured retribution, died on Friday. He was 69.

In 2003, Wilson disputed President George W. Bush's claim that Iraq was buying uranium to build nuclear weapons. His comments led to the outing of his wife, Valerie Plame, as a CIA operative.
