Yes it is...with the usual unsubstantiated claims
I'll have to do some more digging. Everything I find seems to be quoting that same FT article.
Its a key piece of information, in my mind. If Libya gets its uranium from Niger, that is the smoking gun.
But it will have to wait, I have to disappear for a while. Maybe you'll find something before I do. Someone, somewhere, out there must have another link confirming or refuting the FT story that Libya's uranium came, off the books, from Niger.
Here you have the bogus dossier on Saddam’s uranium
It turns out that I was right in my first post...and Hersh's article was misleading. Wilson was sent by the Veep's office to investigate the forgeries, which that office obtained 10 months before the CIA officially got them - probably from SISMI to MI6 to the CIA.
Why the Administration has gone to such pains to conceal this information is difficult for me to understand. My guess is that the Veep is too strongly connected by this to cooking the intelligence and, by extension, to exposing Plame.
Right now, it looks like Rove and Libby are going to be charged with perjury for trying to conceal their role in outing Plame. If that happens I think Rove will refuse to take the fall and will blame Cheney.
I know the last paragraph is wild supposition. But if it turns out to be true it will be very, very bad for our country.
