A few points to make you madder;
1) Iraq (among other nations) *did* try to acquire uranium from Niger. The FT of London just published a report on it, and the source is, as many Freepers guessed British intelligence intercepts.
2) Wilson was an anti-war activist with ties to top Democrats when his *wife* and her boss at the CIA sent him to Niger without approval, or even notification of, Tenet.
3) Wilson works for the Saudis. Specifically a front organization they use to buy the "friendship" of ex-diplomats called the Middle East Institute.
Holy crap.....that third point is blockbuster.
