Outstanding analysis, Marron. Thank you for adding it to this thread. Wilson's Niger trip is one of the real mysteries in this saga since it was unnecessary and, as you point out so well, he did nothing much while he was there. He also didn't get himself worked up contemporaneously with reports of the Iraq-Niger connection when they surfaced in Blair's dossier and Bush's SOUA. Rather, some months later, working with Pincus, he sneakily created an excuse to insert himself into the SOUA controversy by writing that New York Times article. I believe the "outing" of his wife was a not-unpredictable happenstance probably just a useful (from his point of view) byproduct of his attempt to discredit the President's rationale for going to war in Iraq.

WOW...amazing job you did in collating this information
You are allowed any typos considering all the work involved, and with a sore finger.
Thank you for all your time and effort you put into this.
I believe Wilson was the one who is responsible for outing his wife.
