Wilson, Washington's envoy to Gabon from 1992 to 1995, told the New York Times and NBC that he traveled to Africa in 2002 at the request of the CIA to investigate a report about Iraq buying uranium from Niger. Wilson said he had reported back that it was highly doubtful that any such transaction had ever taken place and that the CIA would have passed on his assessment to Vice President Dick Cheney. "INTELLIGENCE TWISTED" Yet Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair both cited the report earlier this year to support their charges that former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was trying to obtain nuclear weapons and to justify their invasion of Iraq in March. The International Atomic Energy Agency later also dismissed the report as being based on forged documents. "Based on my experience with the administration in the months leading up to the war, I have little choice but to conclude that some of the intelligence related to Iraq's nuclear weapons program was twisted to exaggerate the Iraqi threat," Wilson wrote in Sunday's New York Times. "Either the administration has information that it has not shared with the public or ... they were using the selective use of facts and intelligence to bolster a decision that had already been made to go to war," Wilson said on "Meet the Press." Levin said the new allegations were deeply troubling. "I've instructed my staff on the armed services committee to make a very in-depth inquiry into a number of issues, including this uranium issue," Levin said. "But Ambassador Wilson's statement this morning adds a great deal of additional evidence to me because now it's personal evidence from the ambassador." asia.reuters.com And you make a feeble excuse about tubes.
