If the Niger forgery was associated with some leftist CIA cabal- not outside the realm of possibility- and not entirely done by a foreign power (France or Italy), then I think it could be investigated by a GJ, but I'm guessing Fitzgerald won't go there. Why, is the question. Perhaps another AG and another prosecutor would. Maybe it's just a can o' worms that might comprise other operations- the usual CIA blanket.
Greetings Anselma:
Welcome to FR, we're glad you're here. The blanket of secrecy, while serving a legitimate purpose, when given the emerging facts, makes me uncomfortable.
First, “facts" supporting President Clinton's act of war, the bombing of Sudan's "chemical warfare facility;" were used to embarrass that sitting President when later, this was only an "aspirin factory."
Second, "facts" supporting President's Bush's act of war, the regime change in Iraq; were used to embarrass that sitting President when Joey Wilson opened his stupid pie hole.
The unaccountability of a governmental bureaucracy for producing accurate intelligence results, versus the secrecy required for national security? Yes, Fitzgerald's findings leave me very uncomfortable.
Cheers,
OLA
