Is it possible that Wilson and his wife were part of the same operation that created the Italian forgeries?

That'd be my guess--or at least part of the same operation that tried to pass the forgeries off to the British and US after the French already knew they were phony.

I need to log off for the night soon, but I will follow up on what you've posted here and come back to the Aburdene and Alamoudi stuff.

That is what I had suggested earlier. Note that Wilson claimed to have seen the forgeries before they were even circulated, then back tracked and said, that he had seen some papers that Andra Mitchell had shown him. I'm thinking that he did see the forgeries.

I have never followed up on that, but... I would think finding a connection between Wilson's group and the voucher recipients would be nightmarishly complex. And it is odd to think of Wilson being on Saddam's payroll, given their antagonistic history. But both were opposed to the war. Posted by: TM | October 11, 2004 12:44 PM

the vouchers that he is speaking of are oil for food vouchers. I read somewhere that Wilson met with players in the oil for food scandal on behalf of his company, while he was in Africa.
