More Uranium Treason?

Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall December 3, 2005 01:30 AM: " (December 03, 2005 -- 01:30 AM EDT)

A week ago we mentioned that the FBI was starting to back off their blanket exoneration of the Italian government for any role in the Niger forgeries affair. Now Saturday's LA Times reports that the Bureau has decided to 'reopen' the inquiry into the forged documents. That sounds like a good idea since there are so many signs that the original investigation was all but non-existent. I've been behind in getting to my 4th installment of reporting on the Niger story. But I'll be getting to that in the next few days. And that will include what we learned that confirmed the role of officers of Italian intelligence (SISMI) in disseminating the forgeries.

Stay on it, Josh. If it does turn-out the way I suspect (that the White House created the Niger uranium forgeries), this will be the most important scandal of the decade.
