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

So what if they don't. It was all a hoax.

Right. Last thing I remember about British intelligence was the dreaded "dossier" that turned out to be some recycled US grad school thesis. Then there's the issue that if there was actually any imported Niger uranium, perhaps some physical evidence should have turned up after the war. I know, we don't need no stinkin' evidence, true believers just KNOW, and the CIA ought to be out doing its proper job of confirming the true believers' "knowledge" by whatever means it has.

Doesn't matter, though. We got Brumar69 claiming the CIA set up W, carranza2 claiming it was a Saudi-Plame setup, and you claiming the Niger story was all true, despite subsequent disavowals and Tenet taking the fall on it. It's good to know that true believers don't necessarily agree on everything, but perhaps you could all take it to LindyBill's "no conspiracies" thread and synthesize it all into a (cough) coherent theory. I think there are a few "dot connectors" hanging out there who can help.
