NIGERGATE: UPDATE - FBI AND SISMI TO INVESTIGATE FOREIGN, INCLUDING US, CITIZENS
Yet another Italian news agency is reporting the latest news on the Nigergate front. This is hot, really hot. According to AGI following the decision to conduct a joint inquiry (FBI-SISMI) satisfaction and the absolute will to collaborate has been expressed by a number of Italian government and intelligence sources. According to one SISMI source its about a precise line of inquiry that we indicated, a line of inquiry that stimulated enormous interest in a number of institutions including the FBI whom we have been working with since 2003. This collaboration has already produced results and, according to the intelligence source, will most probably identify and attribute responsibilities in a very short time. The investigations are also focused on understanding the role played by a number of individuals of diverse nationalities, including Americans, who are considered to have interacted with those at the heart of the matter. What are we going to see? In particular the investigations will aim at naming those involved and revealing their hidden agendas. So we have in front of us an investigation thats going to tell us who produced the forgeries and who attempted to use the Nigergate affair to damage their own and allied governments. Stay tuned !!!
Joe said this WAS NOT a secret mission. Joe said he briefed the US Ambassador to Niger, the State Department and the CIA but I have as yet seen no evidence of all three parties being briefed BY JOE.
The entire thing was a setup? Was Joe there to see if something HAD occurred or to make sure that nothing got out that it HAD occurred. Somehow, I picture Joe sitting in front of a fireplace....throwing paper after paper into the flames.....just like Berger.
There's an extremely bad smell emanating from the CIA with regard to this Niger story. The presence of yellowcake bound for Iraq was supposedly reported by the owner of a warehouse in Coutonou, Benin. But the CIA admitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee that it never talked to this man. I'm curious as to why this isn't being investigated. Instead we have Rockefeller trying to pin the Niger forgeries on the Bush Administration. Which of course is purely political.
Who ever said "confusion" is the tool of a psychopath.
