According to the Senate Intelligence Committee report, Plame told her superiors in 1999 that her husband should be sent to Niger on another mission because he was "about to take a business trip there." Later, in her 2002 memo suggesting her husband again for a mission to Niger, she told her superiors that he should go on this mission because he knows the Prime Minister and the Minister of Mines and can use his business contacts to get information.

What business did Joe Wilson have in Niger in 1999? It's been documented that the only exports from Niger are livestock, cowpeas, onions, and uranium. How did he know the Minister of Mines in 2002? Could his trip have been arranged by his wife to cover up what they both knew Niger was doing with uranium and Iraq? Was he involved with it himself and suddenly had to do some fast CYA when he realized the U.S was going after Iraq and its WMD program? Could his column in the NYT have been a setup to reinvent himself as a "whistleblower" and thus prevent the CIA from firing Plame and exposing both of them?

Here's your answer...straight from the mouth of JOE WILSON

"I have a number of clients, and basically we help them with their sort of investments in countries like Niger," explains Wilson. "Niger was of some interest because it has some gold deposits coming onstream. We had some clients who were interested in gold.... We were looking to set up a gold-mine company out of London."
