The other under-reported detail of this so-called scandal is who in the CIA authorized a former diplomat with no experience in counter proliferation or any kind of investigative skills that would qualify him to be sent to Niger to look into the claims by the Brits that Iraq had sent several high level Iraqi military members on a trade mission to Niger.
CIA Director George Tenet has already testified that he had no prior knowledge of Joseph Wilson's trip to Niger and had never seen or heard of any report of his findings while in Niger. I know if I was Dir. Tenet, I would be ready to lop off the heads of whoever was responsible for this. All anyone has to do is consider the fact that the Vice President of the Unites States requested an investigation of the possibility that Niger were involved in an illegal sale of Uranium Oxide to a Rogue Nation like Iraq who has been in violation of every single resolution the U.N. had imposed on it, and the CIA's answer is to send a known critic of the Bush Administration on a assignment of such importance that it could be the difference between war and peace?
That my friend is the real scandal and if the Press had any credibility whatsoever, it would be all over these details. What's scary is that it's obvious that the entrenched liberals in the State Department and the DOD are worried that their 40 year strangle hold on these agencies is at risk, and this explains their vitriol hatred for George W. Bush and all he represents. Liberals are scared of strong leaders and GWB has them quaking in their boots
