"Doubts about a claim that Iraq had tried to buy uranium from the African state of Niger were aired 10 months before Mr Bush included the allegation in his key State of the Union address this year, a CIA official has told the BBC...
...a former US diplomat, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, went on the record at the weekend to say that he had travelled to Africa to investigate the uranium claims and found no evidence to support them. "

IMHO Wilson's wife was the "CIA official".

A husband-wife team of petulent traitors out to disrupt US foreign policy.

They should both be in prison.

It is likely that the military and other agencies have uncovered lots of intelligence in Iraq, and it damns many operatives (over here) - making them, literally, traitors. With that in mind, it's easy to surmise that this episode is a pre-emptive strike intended to shield the Wilsons against the incriminating information that is about to come out. The Wilson defense will be that the stories of their complicity in aiding the enemy were planted or concocted by the Bush administration in retaliation for the damage done.

I think all signs point in that direction.
