That’s not Wilson’s problem. Bush in ‘03 heralded British intel reporting Iraq had “recently” attempted to buy uranium in Africa. Now was there a contact between 1999 and 2003, or does “recently” span all four years after the PM made the assumption?

Most importantly… why isn’t the LAT credited for delving into all this in its report today on Lord Butler’s investigation?

“But on the issue of Saddam’s interest in nuclear weapons, the Butler Commission said: ”The British government had intelligence from several different sources” indicating that Iraqi officials sought to buy uranium from Niger in 1999.”

Rework the post and write something about the LAT ultimately succumbing to blog “pressure.”

Would it make a difference to you to learn that the Times had not yet published their story of today, when I wrote this post yesterday?

You can see my take on today’s story in this post.

“We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. You have to kill her.” The first man said. “You cant be serious. I could never shoot my wife!”The agent replies, “Then you?re not the right man for this job.”

The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the agent came out with tears in his eyes. “I tried, but I cant kill my wife.” The agent replies, “You dont have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.”

Finally, it was the womans turn. Only she was told to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, “You guys didnt tell me the gun was loaded with blanks. So I had to beat him to death with the chair.”
