Why was the White House so nervous in the summer of 2003 about the CIA's reporting by Wilson on alleged Iraqi attempts to buy uranium from Niger to build a nuclear bomb?
The Libby trial record suggests a simple answer: The White House was worried that the CIA would reveal that it had been pressured in 2002 and early 2003 to support administration claims about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, AND, that in the Niger case, the CIA had tried hard to resist this pressure.
The machinations of Cheney, Libby and others were an attempt to weave an alternative narrative. That is why the White House was so nervous in the summer of 2003 about the CIA's reporting on alleged Iraqi attempts to buy uranium from Niger to build a nuclear bomb?
