Why the nasty tone?
Your comment "without any additional information" is baseless since I've linked you directly to George Tenet's statement.
But I see you are not on a fact finding mission and now are including personal insults in you replies. That ends my conversation with you.
my apologies.

tenet did not comfirm nor deny wilson's claim that the office of vp had inquired specifically about the uranium story. he just stated that "in an effort to inquire about certain reports involving Niger, CIA's counter-proliferation experts, on their own initiative, asked an individual with ties to the region to make a visit to see what he could learn."
what i am curious about is whether chenney's office did indeed make a request which *prompted* wilson's mission as wilson claimed and tenet did not deny (it should be remembered that wilson did not claim he was sent directly by the office of vp). and if so, why was chenney's office not briefed on the results of wilson's mission as one might expect. if you have information that addresses this question i would like to hear about it, but i will guess that you are satisfied by tenet's suggestion that wilson's mission did not "resolve the issue." i would like to hear wilson's and other intelligence insiders' response to that.
btw - thanks for the link to wilson's interview with hannity last october. it does cast parts of his recent op/ed in a different light. it does make me less likely to rely on wilson's information.
