All I remember is that Wilson came back from Niger and said there had been no deal for yellowcake. I do recall it being said that there had been previous sales of yellowcake to Iraq (but I don't recall the dates).

What I want to know is .. why would the Bush admin send a Bush-hater on a diplomatic mission for the admin ..?? When we have that answer .. along with who made the suggestion that Wilson be chosen to make the trip .. I think we will know who leaked Mrs. Wilson's supposed ID.

I think what you are suggesting is that if we knew:

1. Why Ambassador Wilson was sent?
2. Who sent Ambassador Wilson?

   Then we would know

3. Who talked to Bob Novak?

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand how we would know Novak's source from those first two.

"I think we will know who leaked Mrs. Wilson's supposed ID."

This whole leak issue is a diversion from the fact that Joe Wilson politicized his "findings" regarding the yellowcake. The real question is who is Joe Wilson, who sent him on his little farcical mission, and why would he compromise our national security for political reasons.

When Novak started asking these questions, the press/liberals went ballistic over the "leak" -- and this diversion worked like a charm. We're still talking about this non-issue.
