"The CIA and the Iraq Survey Group failed to pursue information that Iraq smuggled uranium to Iran five years ago, according to a former State Department official."


Phil would you please contact Gertz and ask him to fill in the time line of the CIA's refusal.

Was it 5 years ago during the Clintoon years or was it during the yellow cake scams of Foley/Plame/Wilson?

Does it matter?

Anyone suffering radiation sickness from a 5 year old smuggling operation would most probably be dead or permanently disabled today.
If these Iraqi "operatives" were involved in smuggling uranium, and are suffering radiation sickness "today", (within the last say, 2 or 3 months ) chances are that the smuggling actually took place immeadiately before, during or after operation Iraqi Freedom.

In other words, they were getting rid of evidence of WMD's in Iraq.

Now, they want the U.S./coalition to pay them a reward for betraying their own country and people.

Personally, I would like them to spend the next few months or so watching their insides turn into shapeless slime.
May their death(s) be long, hard and painful.
