The CIA's behavour in this matter is to sophmoric to be taken seriously as an intelligence agency.
Bingo! Cherche Les Bucks! What about these, for starters:
Joe Wilson worked in 3 African countries(State Dept), out of 4, that mine(d) uranium- Gabon, So. Africa, and Niger, so someone check-out his "company" along with the CIA "fronts" for pay-offs from the French or Koffi et al; Wilson was a campaign "consultant" for that creepy-friend-of-the-French, John Kerry; Kerry's wife, the impolitic Terry Kerry, a) has known Koffi Annan since their college days at some Geneva "school for languages" and b)was or still is a "consultant" for the UN (see Who's Who, under Theresa Heinz or THK)- not that she's perhaps a witting helper, merely a conduit, merely generally witless; also, Joe Wilson worked in Germany (another friend/biz partner of Saddam's) and his 1st wife was some sort of Frenchy government worker, if that's not an oxymoron.
How come it's only the Dumbocrats that hire the modern-day Torquemadas? Did you hear that guy, Lawrence Wilkerson, complain recently, that the trouble is the Bushies just were refusing to let the bureaucrats run the country!?!? Yeah, that's the jist of what he said. Seriously!
Sniff out the rogues, I say. Follow the money.
