Re:

"The evidence was, in fact, a set of crudely forged documents first analyzed in February 2002 by US Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who had been dispatched to Niger by Dick Cheney himself. "It did not take long to conclude that it was highly doubtful that any such transaction had ever taken place," Wilson was quoted as saying in the Times about an Iraqi attempt to procure uranium."


Lots floating around, I realize, but in his original op ed, Wilson states he never saw memorandum.

(As for the actual memorandum, I never saw it. But news accounts have pointed out that the documents had glaring errors — they were signed, for example, by officials who were no longer in government — and were probably forged. And then there's the fact that Niger formally denied the charges.)

Just (fact?) checking in; up late proofing myself; if Wilson's stated otherwise since then on tv or other outlets, you're one to know....

Kick ass, brother man. Good stuff. Much more inspiring than my neck of the woods (and wetlands). Keep meaning to PM you links some day.

Darkstar crashes (soon, I hope)
