Mr. Bush's aides portray themselves as victims in this case, battered by conflicting intelligence and ill served by the head of the C.I.A. at the time, George J. Tenet. Mr. Tenet, they argue, did not convey to the White House doubts he had about the validity of the charge. But Mr. Tenet's doubts were deep enough that Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, in an interview in 2003, said that he had never believed the uranium story and that he was mystified why the White House thought it legitimate.

RE: "Suggesting is not recommending per say. Wilson went over there and found no evidence of any Yellow Cake transactions."

Um, he did report evidence that Iraq sought Yellow Cake Uranium. Suggesting is not recommending per say? Huh? LOL Interesting that she had a preconceived notion of the possibility before his trip, as in "crazy." I wonder if he did too?

Actually British Intelligence knew of a meeting in Niger, and Wilson's conversation with the former Prime Minister confirmed that intelligence. The Prime Minister believes Iraq sought Yellow Cake Uranium.
