I learned some things reading this.

"Plame also moves back to the United States, in part because the CIA suspects her name was leaked to the Russians in 1994"

"French control Niger ’s uranium industry"

"Joseph Wilson leaves government service to open a consulting firm specializing in assisting international investment in Africa"

"Joseph Wilson begins advising the Kerry campaign on foreign policy issues"


got this from a republican...
notice how they highlighted the french controled the uranium and how he worked for kerry.. :eyes:

1. Wilson went to Niger - TWICE?????????

"1999 – Joseph Wilson takes a trip to Niger at the behest of the CIA to investigate “uranium-related matters” separate from Iraq . (Wilson, Politics lv-lvi). According to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report on pre-war intelligence, Wilson “was selected for the 1999 trip after his wife mentioned to her supervisors that her husband was planning a business trip to Niger in the near future and might be willing to use his contacts in the region.” (Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Report on Prewar Assessment of Iraq Intelligence, 39, July 2004).

. . . February 26, 2002 – Wilson arrives in Niger . He concludes, after a few days of interviews, that “it was highly unlikely that anything was going on.” (Senate Intelligence Cmte., Iraq 42, July 2004)."



First I've heard that!
