#1 making the blog rounds - Instapundit et al - the MSM won't be able to ignore this. Joe Wilson's still an incompetent ass and a Democratic hack. Whoever assigned him to go to Niger should be fired

Yes, we never did find that out, nor why he never filed a official report when he came back.

#3 Illicit sales of uranium from Niger were being negotiated with five states including Iraq at least three years before the US-led invasion, senior European intelligence officials have told the Financial Times.

Where were these "senior European intelligence officials" when the Bush administration was excoriated in international media for the exaggerated/made up yellow cake intel? Why have they remained silent until now?

Europe, you owe us a big apology. Won't hold my breath, though; it's been so long since you've delivered one, I think you may have forgotten how.

#4 Steve (#2), Wilson did file an official report. Didn't you read in the Op-Ed pages?

#5 The anti-war conventional wisdom takes another hit. Seems like the accepted myths are dropping like flies. First the NYT (of all places) reports on additional evidence of Iraq-Al Qaeda connections (contrary to the monolithic media chant for the last 2.5 years) and now the debunked Niger-yellowcake story gets rebunked. Any bets we will round out the process and come up with new proof of wmd sometime late this summer.

#6 Wrong. The MSM did all they could to ignore it quite successfully. Put nothing past them.
