Both trips sponsored by the CIA.
Damned curious
A second trip to Niamey later in 1999..not on the CiA's dime--this time on the dime of Saudi international (OFF scandal) Alamoudi.http://www.americanthinker.com/articles.php?article_id=5702
There's also the question of how Wilson knew about the apparently forged Niger document. The CIA believed it was a fake. Joe's wife, being in the nuclear proliferation office of the CIA, probably would have known about it.
Was he an Ambassador at these two times??? or was he in business with Alamoudi, the terrorist moneyman and sympathizer at this time? They SHARED an office address. I think Alamoudi has been deported now.
