re:"Q - Why else would they be shopping for yellowcake? A - In a word they weren't" The beauty of government reports, is that there is something for everyone. page 43 of the report you linked - "Mayaki (Nigerien Prime Minister) said, however, that in June 1999, (blanked out) businesman, approached him and insisted that Mayaki meet with an Iraqi Delegation to discuss "expanding commercial relations" between Niger and Iraq. The intelligence report said that Mayaki intrepreted "expanding commercial relations" to mean that the delegation wanted to discuss uranium yellowcake sales <note: uranium is by far the bulk of Nigerien "commercial" exports>. The intelligence report also said that "although the meeting took place, Mayaki let the matter drop due to the UN sanctions on Iraq."
