After his diplomatic job ended several years ago, Wilson became a political operative for the Dem party. He was in Gore's campaign. And he never submitted a written report or any notes on his brief trip to Africa. You seem to have only half the facts. Why is that?

CIA operatives are required to sign secrecy agreements. Why would they send someone without expertise in that area on such a mission, and without having him sign a secrecy agreement, and to make merely a verbal report? This thing smells fishy -- like a setup and a cover-up on behalf of the UN, France, and Germany. Note from the article posted previously that the UN regulates the mines, and France and Germany profit from them: "Wilson found the mines regulated by the U.N. and run by an international consortium (which includes Saddam-friendly nations such as France and Germany) and concluded that it would be hard for the government to sell uranium without being detected. Wilson reported to the CIA — only verbally — that he didn't believe it would be easy for Saddam to get uranium from Niger." Wilson concluded it would be "Hard" to sell uranium without being detected? Oh, jeez, that's comforting, isn't it? A verbal report? Verbal??? From a non-CIA employee, without expertise in nuclear arms or uranium sales, who wasn't covered by a written secrecy agreement? This stinks to high heaven.
