Like I was saying

The Junk Yard Blog nails it again on Wilson.

He was sent to Niger, after all, to assess one single question: Did Iraq seek yellowcake from Niger? So he went to Niger, all too eager to get himself inserted in the great game. And he sipped tea poolside, never really investigated a thing, and upon returning to the US, delivered a verbal briefing after the trip.

To whom? Well, the same people who sent him to Niger, naturally. Who are...?

We don't know. But we should. Because Wilson's mission appears to have been a sham from the start.

That's been my take from pretty close to the start of this thing. It's a con job, a sham. I'll let him tell it. Go read.
