Where and when?

****************************


Where and when?

​ ​​​​Joseph A. Wilson consistently told reporters heÂ’d seen the forged documents from Niger and noted that the names and dates on them were wrong and therefore he knew they were inauthentic. He testified in the same vein to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). When the Committee noted that we had not received those documents until eight months after his Mission, Wilson changed his testimony. As the members who filed an Additional Views Report observed, that statement made under oath was also at odds with the facts. From the Additional Views report of the SSCI:

The former ambassador told Committee staff that he, in fact, did not have access to any of the names and dates in the CIAÂ’s reports and said he may have become confused about his own recollection after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported in March 2003 that the names and dates on the documents were not correct. Of note, the names and dates in the documents that the IAEA found to be incorrect were not names or dates included in the CIA reports.

It would thus appear that he did have access to the names and dates in the CIA reports, which means either (a) he had unauthorized access to classified CIA documents, received 8 months after his Mission or (b) he saw them before the CIA did.

Feldman and Hanson provide a great deal of the content to be found at the American Thinker website.

They both do a good job of documenting and referencing their work.

The smoke screen must continue. Can't have Wilson and Plame tried on espionage charges. Wouldn't look to good for the left. Glad I finally see an article that backs up my ravings about Iraq buying 100 tons of yellow cake from Niger back in the 80's. He had Portugal backmailed regarding cheap oil deals at that time so that they would sell him 130 tons. Brazil as these articles mention also come into play. Brazil had a deal to "re-sell" Iraq two or three fast breeder reactors back then, but the deals fell through.
