Perhaps Mrs. Wilson , or "Jane Bond" as her husband calls her, sent Mr. Wilson, aka Yellowcake Joe, over to Niger to STOP any talk about yellowcake.

I personally think this whole thing was planned after he signed on with the Kerry Campaign. I think Wilson attended a strategy session and was asked if had anything that could embarrass the Administration and he mentioned his trip to Niger and the Political hacks convinced him to write the Op-ed. Wilson told far too many lies for this to have been a CIA hatched plot. The only thing that really bothers me is who put the forged document into Powell's report as part of the supportive documents. I think Wilson simply glommed onto the document as some sort of reason why he was sent to Niger. The Document in question originated in Italy and was purchased by our Embassy there for $200.00 from a reporter, I believe, It was immediately disregarded as a forgery and didn't surface until after Powell's report to the U.N. and that is why Powell was seen walking around his Jet with it in his hand. Powell knew there was an effort to discredit him and the Administration and this is why the MI6 and the CIA cut off all communication
