if a whistleblower happens to point out the somewhat spurious nature of one aspect of the pre-war propaganda campaign, it's perfectly understandable that the W team would want to blow a CIA agent's cover in retaliation. Sounds like you haven't read Hersh's latest hallucination, accepted as 24k truth around here by some. Wilson's ME connections I predict will come home to roost for the happy couple. Valerie buying her nighties at Saks with Saudi cash will be very interesting reading indeed. Of course, GWB is a dummy for getting the DOJ involved. Keep thinking that......

Politics ain't beanbag, and if a whistleblower happens to point out the somewhat spurious nature of one aspect of the pre-war propaganda campaign, it's perfectly understandable that the W team would want to blow a CIA agent's cover in retaliation. Uh Win.. Exactly what did Wilson "point out"? That he believed the Niger information was fraudulent? Well Sir, Britain's MI-6 has YET to rescind their OWN claim that Iraq was seeking Uranium from Niger. They've NEVER agreed with Wilson's personal analysis. And it was MI-6's analysis, not Wilson's, that guided Bush's comments in his speech. And Tenet, obviously in consultation with his counterpart at MI-6, approved the usage of that 16 word passage. Now, contrary to the prevalent claims by a self-serving Wilson, he has not pointed out that MI-6 still stands by their analysis on Niger. So tell me Winn, even with all the scrutiny that has arisen over Wilson's comments on Niger, and the 16 words in Bush's speech, how do you account for the fact that the British have yet to relent on, or revise, their analysis on the Niger Uranium connection?? Hint: Rumour has it that their intelligence was derived from the French, who control the majority of Uranium mining interests in the nation.. Hawk
