Fitzgerald is the real criminal here. Wonder how he sleeps at night.
Man oh man...they are ALL nuts...lol. Fitz is the one that should be frogmarched to jail imho. There is nothing worse than a corrupted man of the law.

“Fitzgerald...wonder how he sleeps at night”.
I’d imagine he sleeps next to a big pile of money.

I haven’t heard of any stores of yellow cake other than the ones already registered with the inspectors. There was another load that was supposedly sent to Fort Knox early on though, but I never heard anything about whether this 500 tons was the same as the “other” 500 tons.
The fact that Saddam really did try to arrange a sale in Niger isn’t really in dispute. He sent a team to Niger to discuss “trade” and the Niger authorities said that they wanted to buy uranium. (What else does Niger deal in?) The trade delegation led by Zawahie wasn’t really a secret, so why Bush referred to British intel reports is beyond me.
As for whether or not Niger made any subrosa shipments of uranium, I always ask where Libya’s yellowcake came from. Half was smuggled in from Niger and later revealed to IAEA. The other half was smuggled in from Niger and never revealed to anyone.
As for Iraq, I noticed something that went down the memory hole almost immediately. During the invasion a unit with an embed reporter found a chemical plant which was not on the UN list. Its plant manager was an Iraqi general, it was ringed by high fences and towers and secured by an infantry brigade. The plant produced “nerve agent”.
A couple of days later, the press came back and said that no, it wasn’t nerve agent, it was agricultural pesticide.
Later I remember two or three times that they would capture military ammo dumps and find barrels of “nerve agent” and in every case they came back and said, no, come to find out, its agricultural pesticide too. In one case reporters on the scene got sick I remember.
Its the same thing. If you dilute it and put it on your fields, its pesticide. If you spread it on Iranian troops, its nerve agent. Same stuff. The fact that it was a military-run plant and the stuff was in military ammo dumps made it pretty clear what its purpose was, but they re-defined it out of existence. I picked up on that at the time and I wondered, who has that power, to disappear this stuff by merely re-defining it? Later when Bush’s presidency hung by a thread, no one ever brought this up (except occasionally here at FR).
So I’m not absolutely convinced that, if there was more than one stash of uranium we’d have been told about it anyway. I seem to have heard of them finding uranium more than once but they never make it clear if its the same uranium they keep finding and dealing with. I do remember that some of Iraq’s nuclear engineers were involved in Libya’s nuclear program supposedly, so I always wonder if there was yet another sleight of hand there. Maybe Saddam’s yellowcake didn’t come to Iraq.
The fact that Saddam really did try to arrange a sale in Niger isn’t really in dispute.

And that’s why WILSON is part of this story.
Wilson was sent by his CIA wife Valerie Plame to Niger to sip tea, and then directly attacked Pres. Bush’s statement and the widely known intelligence of the time that Saddam “sought” yellowcake there, all as part of an insidious CIA scheme to embarrass the Bush admin, which despicable web then eventually entangled Scooter Libby, who was eventually targeted by the delusional, dysfunctional Fitzgerald.

Excerpt:
At last, this situation may be corrected. In Bush v. the Beltway, Laurie Mylroie detailed the sabotage of the Bush Administration and its policies by opponents buried in the CIA and elsewhere. We have seen that effort at undermining continue more overtly and more viciously, culminating in this week’s leaks against Porter Goss and his efforts at institutional reform of the Agency.
How did that happen?!
Yeah .. how DID that happen ? /s
