Well, there is no proof here. Just some really good educated guesses that would explain an awful lot. There is obviously something the Brits know that we don't (see the Straw statement). Why would they not share with us?
Here is a very, very plausible explanation.

This is indeed a plausible explanation. The other explanations for the Brit's withholding intelligence would be the protection of a source (which I don't think is the case) OR the knowledge that the information might reach someone who is compromised in the US...like a Senator or Representative that sits on one of the Congressional intelligence committees.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least that the French knew all about this Iraq-Africa connection, mainly because they were helping the Iraqis get the needed components. Could this be just one more piece of info that will shut the Dems up?

"yellow cake"
There were other reports on "yellow cake". Remember the site in Iraq that the US Marines were given grief over for not securing properly. The locals allegedly took the drums used to store the "yellow cake" in.
Could this be the same "yellow cake" that Saddam was trying to buy from outside sources?
