Iraq's connections in Niger may have put the Baathist's together with Wilson and KA-CHINGG!

Remember that Saddam had access to literally HUNDREDS of millions of dollars in CASH.
But perhaps Wilson has just too much integrity to be bribed.
You jest, of course.
But it is nonetheless worthwhile to speculate as to just whose payroll Wilson was actually on.
The DNC and Kerry Campaign are only the most obvious nominees.
You've suggested Saddam Hussein as another possibility.
Then, there are the Saudis -- with whom Wilson has very close fiduciary relations. He is on the board of their Middle East Institute (a common sinecure for the more corruptible State Dept retirees) and runs a "consulting service" out of the offices of the Rock Creek Corporation, which is a Saudi front.
Perhaps, we shouldn't discount al-Qaeda itself as a possible Wilson paymaster -- veiled by his Saudi contacts.
In any event, there is no reason to believe that Wilson has been pursuing the national interest of the United States at any time during the past two years. The only question is whose interest is he, in fact, most concerned with (aside from his own, of course).
