Thanks!--I was looking forward to hearing what you got out of it :-) I did only scratch the surface of Cannistraro's background and possible involvement. He was up to a bunch of stuff throughout the 1990s which I feel need review to put him in perspective. I'm very curious about his relationship to MacMichael in particular.

On Oil-for-Food links, I had a whole section on that I cut out of the final draft due to length/readability considerations. I will try to sum that up separately sometime.

On your analysis of the forgeries and other Niger reports, you may find the reproductions on these links useful to review if you haven't seen them:

Yup...this thing has so many connections to so many other scandals, it is hard to keep under control. Every time I want to post info I keep having to remember which Word file I put the info in (was it "Rove"? Was it "Cannistraro"? Was it "My Theory"?), it's driving me crazy, LOL! Your info is a great resource for anyone that has not kept up to speed on this. Thanks for all your work!

Apart from oil-for-food, one other thing you should include is that there is some connection between uranium production and gold mines (something to the effect that uranium is or can be a by-product of gold mining?), which potentially further amplifies the connection between Wilson's business dealings and the possible French aspiration to serve as Saddam's covert uranimum supplier. Once again, sorry I don't have the link, but it's something I read somewhere on FR.
