NYT: F.B.I. Is Still Seeking Source of Forged Uranium Reports

(Emphasis mine)

more than just the act of using it?

The French also recieved one of the copies and then threw it in the trash where it belongs :shrug:

The difference being "we were duped by bad intel on Saddams WMD" vs. "we manufactured the forgeries to give us evidence to invade". I think this answer changes the dynamic from 'incompetence' to 'criminal intent to mislead the country'.

I have no doubts that this administration weas the prime mover for getting someone to make the forgeries....and I doubt that the FBI is pursuing this with any aggressive investigation. Just like they couldn't find the anthrax perps.

and I doubt that the FBI is pursuing this with any aggressive investigation. Just like they couldn't find the anthrax perps.

That's a fine big fish! :D

"Why hasn’t the FBI arrested anyone at the AIPAC? Who in the Bush administration is blocking justice in this case?

For that matter, why hasn’t the FBI interviewed Rocco Martino, the acknowledged and admitted procurer of the phony Niger uranium documents? They are known to be investigating the phony documents.

The United States has had no qualms about getting audacious in Italy by having the CIA abduct an Egyptian cleric, Abu Omar, off the streets of Milan in February 2003, for "exceptional rendering," aka "torture," in Egypt. This open violation of Italian sovereignty was supervised by the CIA’s station chief in Milan, Robert Seldon Lady, formerly of the New Orleans area.

Lady Is No "lady": ROBERT SELDON LADY

It is my belief that the "Italian functionary," or "a lady," that Martino referred to was actually a Lady, Robert Seldon Lady Sr, the same man who headed up the torture abduction of Abu Omar."

Almost all their case findings or lack of findings have benefitted RepubliCONs.

From When Ho Lee's during-Clintons-time arrest to Martha Stewart's lying FBI science.
From nary-an-anthrax clue to what-Plame-outing.

Agreed.
Former director Louis Freeh is now going around explaining why it was far more important to fully investigate every trumped-up repug claim against President Clinton than to do his damn job bringing the agency into the 21st century and investigating terrorist threats to the nation. What an asswipe.

That's a possible motive for forging the documents? That makes no sense to me. It could be the ones who were looking to make money off the forgeries knew they needed a 'slam dunk' to make sure an invasion happened. Cheney and Halliburton anyone? Am I overreaching here?

When bush said his infamous 16 words at the State of the Union in July of 2003, the CIA already knew these were forged documents. The regime hung their hat on them as if they were fact and kept pushing the whole 'mushroom cloud' bit until they had people cowering under tables.

...learn?

"The continuing inquiry into the source of the forged documents has been conducted separately from the investigation by the special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald in the leak case." --NYT

Oh yeah? Then why did Fitzgerald ask the Italian gov't for an unredacted copy of their report on the Niger forgeries--and furthermore ask that AIPAC/Franklin prosecutor McNulty be permitted to review it?

"Law enforcement officials say they do not believe that the two issues are related." --NYT

What crap.

I think this disinformation is intended to point away from Israel, the chief foreign lobbyist for the Iraq war, besides double (triple?) agent Chalabi.

I think one of the things they need to learn is that nothing that the Bush junta has done/is doing is enhancing Israel's security. In fact it's all steamrolling toward a nuclear war in the Middle East--one that none of us will survive. (Read Carl Sagan's "The Cold and the Dark," about the impacts on the planet of even a limited nuclear exchange.)

The NYT has become completely unreliable.

case, then we'll never know, will we? How's that Anthrax case going guys? What's that--a cold trail? Hmmm.....same thing with the Yellow Cake documents you say? Hammmm....gee, I'm stumped! :shrug:
The question begs to be asked, does the FBI really WANT to know? Has the FBI become an unofficial branch of the bush/neo-con cabal? The FBI seems to be blowing a lot of investigations lately. These criminals must be getting VERY smart if they can constantly outwit 'the finest investigative agency in the world'. :eyes:

As long as the present Administration is in power , there won't be any independent and honest onvestigation of any kind for uncovering the deeds of Shrub and his administration.

Do you also see the same news management methods at work -- selective reporting, falsification, and minimization of key facts -- in this article as in Judy Miller's WMD reporting?

Are Judy Miller's editors now at work trying to cover-up the role of Michael Ledeen, Manoucher Ghorbanifar and the OSP cabal in the Niger forgeries?

This is yet another scandal in the making for the NYT, which I no longer trust as a secondary source.

When is an investigative journalist going to perform a very necessary public service and delve in the details of how the NYT became an instrument of the neocons? Or, is everyone afraid because this subject is another sure career-ender? :eyes:

All the FBI have to do is go to Google and all the info they want is there? Why waste all this time:)

So how come the intelligence agencies don't know??

Besides, why the FBI instead of the CIA getting to the bottom of this?

Isn't the FBI the agency that deals with DOMESTIC crimes? Doesn't the CIA deal with INTERNATIONAL issues?? :freak:

This is SOOOOO MUCH BULLSHIT!!! Let's BLAST the NYT with what we, diligent DUers KNOW about the Plame leak, about Michael Ledeen, Manoucher Ghorbanifar and all that we found through the "Plame Thread" investigations? They seem to still be in JudithMillerMode, and it's time that bloggers started helping them out a little with their so-called "investigative journalism".

The NYT propaganda is sooo WMD's. Somebody over there needs to set their alarm a little bit earlier, and get busy digging.

with the anthrax killer and other assorted criminals saved by the "can't go there" detour signs of national security.
