Fitzgerald has interviewed the Italian officials re the Niger-Yellowcake

documents?

Flavia just said this on Tucker Carlson's show on MSNBC.

Has this been reported elsewhere?

Does anyone have any details.

edit to add - I found the Diary on Daily Kos that mentions this:

(FITZGERALD UPDATE): Niger Yellowcake and The Man Who Forged Too Much

-snip-
UPDATE): It seems from this article that Fitzgerald has turned his attention directly to the Niger Forgeries themselves!


Even as the FBI was following the trail of the forgers, the Italians were looking into the matter from their end. A parliamentary committee was charged with investigating, and they issued a heavily redacted report: now, I am told by a former CIA operations officer, the report has aroused some interest on this side of the Atlantic. According to a source in the Italian embassy, Patrick J. "Bulldog" Fitzgerald asked for and "has finally been given a full copy of the Italian parliamentary oversight report on the forged Niger uranium document," the former CIA officer tells me:

"Previous versions of the report were redacted and had all the names removed, though it was possible to guess who was involved. This version names Michael Ledeen as the conduit for the report and indicates that former CIA officers Duane Clarridge and Alan Wolf were the principal forgers. All three had business interests with Chalabi."

And there's more:

my source tells me that "Fitzgerald asked the Italians if he could share the report with Paul McNulty," the prosecutor in the AIPAC case.
