bump for later
There's still a question in my mind about the exact nature of the "memorandum of agreement" which Wilson was sent to investigate. That sounds more like the forgery and less like a report of a meeting between the Iraqi representative to the Vatican and the President of Niger.
What Hersh's report confirms however is the incredible, self-righteous arrogance of this Administration. This is what gcochran complained about...and I discounted. I was wrong about that too. But, since I still believe that war with Iraq was the right course of action, maybe that kind of mindset is what's necessary for such a bold departure from our previous path.
