"The committee found Wilson had made an earlier trip to Niger in 1999 for the CIA, also at his wife's suggestion."

Interesting. You would have thought that at least one of the several reporters who have written on this subject would have run across this fact. My impression is that this information was known but purposely ignored.

See my other posts on the thread. You are correct, it has been a matter of public record. Both Tenet here and Jack Straw in Britain, for example, remarked on it. The mainstream media dutifully reported the comments, then put them on *ignore* and Wilson's version was allowed free rein.

I always say the truth will out. The problem is the calendar and elections, but it looks like it's percolating up and coming out right in time.
