Say Anything Blog

JunkYardBlog reminds us about those forged “yellowcake” documents, citing this story—itself over a year old—which names an Italian businessman in the employ of French intelligence as the source of the documents Joseph Wilson claimed (to WaPo’s Walter Pincus) to have known were fake eight months before the US government even received them. . . .

I’ve heard several political pundits—most recently, Michael Ledeen—suggest that the Libby indictments will spur the Democrats to demand an investigation into pre-war intelligence.

Well and good. But I’d say an investigation into the lead-up for such a demand—beginning with Plame, Wilson, and the CIA, and proceeding forward to those several useful idiots in the press who propagated Wilson’s story—is worth exploring, as well.
