Nice work!

For a comprehensive history of the Niger/Uranium intelligence: Stephen Hayes's recent article.

Gawd, Wilson is such a slime. I feel greasy just reading about him. You just know he's the type of guy where you can smell his cologne 15 seconds before he enters a room.

outstanding....this should be e-mailed to every news agency print/tv/audio in the nation!!!

June 12, 2003 - Walter Pincus of the Washington Post publishes a story saying, " according to a former White House official: " During his trip, the CIA's envoy [Wilson] spoke with the president of Niger and other Niger officials mentioned as being involved in the Iraqi effort, some of whose signatures purportedly appeared on the documents." " After returning to the United States, the envoy reported to the CIA that the uranium-purchase story was false, the sources said. Among the envoy's conclusions was that the documents may have been forged because the "dates were wrong and the names were wrong," the former U.S. government official said. Again, at the time that Wilson "spoke with the president of Niger...." those "documents" were not, reportedly, known to Wilson or even in US possession and would not be so for another eight months. Is Wilson simply lying again, to Pincus? Or was he telling Pincus the truth; did he know about the documents when he was in Niger; the documents that would not show up until eight months later in Rome?

Rush touched on this 15 minutes ago- evidently the WaComPost came out and mentioned this lie by Wilson in an article today...

One curious question, about yellowcake (which, as I understand it, is pretty much crap as a starting point to create weapons-grade uranium).

Since at least 1991, we know that Iraq had in its possession at least 500 metric tons of yellowcake - and it was not prohibited from having it, and it wasn't doing anything with it. Why would an effort to get more either (a) be credible or (b) lead anyone to think it augered some jumpstart in their nuke program?

Is it a crime for a former US ambassador and a current CIA employee to conspire to bring down a presidency? It should be.

Nice summation. It would be interesting to see where Wilson's publicly stated desire to see Rove "frog-marched" out of the White House in handcuffs was made. I have always felt that was the desired result of this plan and if Wilson made that statement before Rove's role was made known.
