Which is exactly why the Demolibs wanted a secret session to "investigate pre-war intelligence." They have to try and keep a lid on the connection between France, Niger and Wilson. The Republicans need to start calling Wilson before the Senate and make him testify openly in thier own investigation.
This has been so obviously orchestrated from the beginning. From the bizarre sending of Wilson to Africa with no confidentiality agreement, a forged document that was known to Wilson and by logic others before the White House got hold of it, mock impeachment trials, and oh so many other tidbits that clairvoyance just doesn't explain.
One little pet theory of mine is this. The Clinton administration were, through Marc Rich, knee deep in oil for food money. My theory is that in order to either get involved or put more pressure on Saddam to pay they had their pals in CIA "develop" intelligence that would justify a war with Iraq. Much of that evidence obviously is still around as they could not say they were wrong and bring attention to the operation. Remember Clinton and every other Democrat was hell bent on Saddam having WMD, and we have the quotes in 97 and 98 to prove they were. I suggest this was a ploy to extort "contributions". So what are you left with when Bush takes over? A CIA that has erroneous information on WMD that is both confirmed and denied by the same CIA agency. You have Joe Wilson and Plame and the MSM elites. And you have a Democrat party that is so sure that evidence has been manufactured that they are holding Mock impeachment trials in 2004. Something just isn't adding up. Why was the CIA so out of character allowing Wilson to blab his lying pie hole?
Well its just a theory and certainly does not explain everything but I still feel that its at least part of the issue
