My thread here contains many media reports and interviews in an attempt to trace the evolution of the linkage some have postulated between Bush's State of the Union reference to "Africa" and ruminations about the African country of Niger, including Joseph Wilson's.

Long read.

Good research Shermy.

Shermy what if the country Bush mentioned and the Brit's cite........is LIBYA......not Niger.

Good work, Shermy. I was especially interested to learn of Wilson's activities in the 80s. No pun intended but it seems to me that Wilson and others have been mining government-made relationships for both political and personal gain for several decades now.

I am going to go through your links more carefully a little later. There are a number of interesting questions raised.
