The only thing I would add to your fantastic research on this matter, is something I also posted in a companion thread today:
In addition to growing evidence that France created the forged documents, we cannot ignore the following:
(1)Valerie Plame's CIA Division,
(a)is tasked with tracking suspect WMD raw material transactions worldwide,
(b)has extensive connections with similar divisions of all foreign services that have similar concerns,
(c)has extensive knowledge, regarding all nations from which WMD raw materials (uranium) are produced,
(d)has the expertese and the means to have known that the forged documents were forged, in less than a week's time.
(2)And yet, from the date the forged documents were handed over the US embassy in Rome, October 9, 2002, until the IAEA declared that they were forgeries, a matter of some months, there is no declaration from Plame's division to the WhiteHouse that the documents were forged.
(3)A reasonable investigator would have to suspect that not only were the French involved in getting the documents into the intelligence stream, Valerie Plame's CIA Division, (a)might have known all along, through their associates in Frahnce, about the documents and (b)at a minimum her division appears to have been politically motivated in not declaring the documents as forgeries before they were turned over to the UN.
We need a new special prosecutor.
I completely agree with all your statements.
If ever there was a need for a special prosecutor, the time is now!
Indeed we do.
