According to well-known blogger Glenn Reynolds, who clerked for Judge Merrit, the author is a Democrat and highly respected for his integrity. This would certainly take the sting off the Nigerian uranium harping were it to get wide play. Somebody call Fox.

It's old news.
First reported in a mid-May Weekly Standard. The CIA and DoD does not (apparently) think much of it.

You fail to note that this was published in the Tennessean on June 25th.
The accompanying article also had this to say:
"The newspaper list of top Iraqi officials that Judge Merritt describes in the accompanying article was also the subject of a mid-May report in the Weekly Standard, a conservative magazine. The list, published in an Iraqi newspaper before the U.S. invasion, has received little public attention elsewhere.
The magazine noted, as did Merritt, that one person on the list was characterized as being in charge of relations with Osama bin Laden at the Iraqi embassy in Pakistan. The magazine also mentioned that the list was prefaced by this puzzling passage:
''This is a list of the henchmen of the regime. Our hands will reach them sooner or later. Woe unto them.''
Since the list was published in a newspaper run by Saddam Hussein's son, it was not clear why this passage would have been allowed to appear.
{Take this all for what it's worth}
