I'm not sure you want to hear this. Apparently 60 Minutes flew Martino to NY twice in summer 2004 as "CBS journalists were reporting a story on what role the faked Niger documents may have played in the Bush administration's pursh for war in Iraq." "To date, CBS has yet to run the program, because of an ongoing debate over whether it is ready to air. Kevin Tedesco, a spokesman for 60 Minutes, says the news program's journalists continue to report the Niger stroy and that "we won't rule out airing this material in the future." END OF STORY!!!!!!!!!!! Does this sound nauseatingly familiar?
I'm still confused about the thrust of the story - does it tend to exonerate or incriminate the Bush admin? What are the implications for France? For Italy? For Joseph Wilson? For the CIA?
I also read that they "bumped" that story for the Bush NG story.
