In a word, they weren't

In a word, you need to reread that report, because once again it does not state what you assert. It says the "important fact" gleaned from Wilson's trip was the piece of info that Iraq was shopping in Niger, but it "added nothing" to the pie, and CIA was concentrating on the aluminum tubes, so it wasn't included in the reports.

You keep conflating sale with shopping. CIA doubted that Iraq actually completed a contract of sale, not that they were there shopping. That is plain from the text.

The forgery cropped up in October 2002, after all this analysis was concluded. So your continued use of the forgeries as the source of the wrong intelligence is, well, wrong.
