Newsmax first posted this story on Oct 8th of 2004, but it's good that they bring it up now. The fact is that while it was ignored by the MSM last year that "500 ton" cache is playing huge now.
In actuality the HE uranium was put through isotrophic dilution, although one could not absolutely verify that through porous IAEA records.
Wilson's '99 trip to Niger - referenced as a fact finding mission on uranium not related to Iraq, is now getting some media scrutiny as it fits conveniently with other facts we know about the Plame Game. More and more Wilson is looking like the point man on several 'deals" between Niger and other rogue countries via Iraq up until the Gulf war.
Seems lots of people were making a 'buck or two' on this 'business', and it makes all the attacks on the Bush Administration (who killed the Golden Goose) make more sense.
I've held the opinion for some time that Wilson's setup of Bush via his trip to Niger was a smokescreen, the real intent was to CYA for he and his bosses because they were facilitating deals beneficial to iraq and likely were receiving Oil-For-Food payola.
With OFF unraveling, he had to go get some tracks covered. I'm sure that the inspiration to turn around and hurt Bush was secondary. This stinks to high Heaven and needs to be aggressively pursued.
What a great angle to view the hysteria from the entire redistributionist socialist complex which includes the UN, China, dictators the world over and Democrats. Pimps don't like their streets getting shut down.
