The Sweet Yellow Cake of Vindication
12/25/2003

I received a little bit of heat (in email or in a comments section elsewhere) for finding it interesting that the Bush administration was coming under fire for its Africa uranium statement at the same time that the IAEA was investigating whether looted uranium in Iraq was contaminating villages.

Well, lookee here:

The CIA and the State Department had doubts about the purported Niger information because they knew that Hussein already had a stockpile of the same type of uranium that he was supposed to be seeking.

The funny thing is, as Cliff May notes, that the Washington Post still finds this fact worth only passing mention.
