As for the actual memorandum, I never saw it. But news accounts have pointed out that the documents had glaring errors they were signed, for example, by officials who were no longer in government and were probably forged. And then there's the fact that Niger formally denied the charges.)
Wilson also claims he never wrote anything down about his interviews, etc., while in Niger. How do you conduct an investigation for a Federal Agency and get away with not filing an official report? It makes me wonder what he actually found out over there. Maybe he heard some things he didn't like...meaning it would back up Bush's statements. Being a Clintonista, he figured he'd cover it all up by claiming that he didn't take notes or file a report because there was nothing of importance to be found. Wouldn't you think that someone sent on such an important mission as trying to ascertain whether Saddam had attempted to buy uranium in Niger, would be required to turn over all his notes and file an official report, no matter what your investigation turned up? This stinks to high heavens.
