Joseph
Wilson, former United States Ambassador, is interviewed by Tim Sebastian

that Iraq had tried to buy uranium from Africa.

and claims the
White House used the allegation as part of a trend towards overstating
the Iraqi threat.

programme was originally scheduled for broadcast on Tuesday evening.
