I'm late on this and trying to catch up; but per your question on the strange co-inkidinks----back when all the stuff was coming out re: Plame and Wilson; doesn't (or didn't) Wilson have some major connection with some Swiss companies doing mining business in several countries in Africa. I just noted that these people also have ties to Africa and European companies. God only knows how deep this goes----, but the question is, is it going to get dug up???

About halfway down (caps mine)............

"
After only one year on the job Wilson decided to retire and go into the private sector because "we wanted to have kids, and felt that it had become very difficult ot live off two government salaries." He set up a consultancy, J. C. Wilson headquarters of the Rock Creek Corporation AN INVESTMENT FIRM OF WHICH LITTLE IS KNOWN. Wilson'g right-wing critics have been quick to dondemn the affiliation as "musk," though Wilson does not work for Rock Creek and merely rents space and facilities there.

'I HAVE A NUMBER OF CLIENTS, AND BASICALLY WE HELP THEM WITH THEIR SORT OF INVESTMENTS IN COUNTRIES LIKE NIGER," explains Wilson. "Niger was of some interest because it has some gold deposits coming onstream. WE HAD SOME CLIENTS WHO WERE INTERESTED IN GOLD.... We were looking to set up a gond-mine company out of London."

I had this saved from looking into Wilson when the Plame thing broke. I never felt right about this as gold mines can produce uranium. fwiw

I was struck by the same thing: common Africa connections:

Mary McCarthy: ... began her government service as an analyst, then manager, in CIA's Directorate of Intelligence, holding positions in both African and Latin American analysis. [I think this was 1984 to 1991].
1991 to 2001: National Security Council

Joe Wilson: U.S. Ambassador to the [African ]Gabonese Republic 1992 to 1995...
Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for African Affairs at the National Security Council from June 1997 until July 1998

Am I reading this right?! They served on the NSC together with the same portfolio (Africa)?! And she was the CIA's Africa analyst at the time ole Joe was down there?!
