"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."

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.

I was not aware of those facts....thanks,

Someday someone is going to write a VERY BIG Book on all of this ...

There's a new book out by Richard Miniter titled "Disinformation" describing in detail all of the WMD we've found in Iraq.

Including 177 tons of enriched uranium.

My local little citizen's library has ordered it for me and I'm looking forward to reading it.
