Washington Post claims evidence of a deliberate coverup in the Plame outing, and the fixing of evidence to justify invading Iraq. PROOF OF COMPLICITY MAY BE FORTHCOMING.

Woodward and Bernstein brougnd down Nixon. While working for the Washington Post. Burglary and coverup barely rise to the level of felonies. CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY ARE A STUPIFYINGLY DIFFERENT MATTER.

According to the Post, Wilson Plame and Yellowcake are not even the tip of the iceberg, though the security breach may be the icing on the yellow cake.

David Ignatius, columnist and international affairs specilist at the Washington Post is a graduate of St. Albans School (Washington, D.C.), Harvard College and King's College, Cambridge. He has worked for Washington Monthly and then the Wall Street Journal, where he covered the CIA and was a correspondent from the Middle East. He is the author of 6 novels, including the 2007 novel, Body of Lies. His work also appears in Real Clear Politics, http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/author/david_ignatius/
He is also the Executive Editor of the Paris based, "International Herald Tribune." A quote from an interview done in 2001 in Paris, "Inevitably, reporters come to a subject with their own experience and frame of references, and no two reporters would (or should) cover a story in exactly the same way. I always tell young reporters that pure objectivity is impossible -- we're subjective human beings, after all -- but that fairness IS possible, and essential. By fairness, I simply mean giving both sides in a story a chance to express their views."

sources?

I couldn't find anything to back this up. What I did find was that only 1.8 tons of the uranium at al-Tuwaitha was enriched and even that was low. It was certainly not suitable for making any sort of nuclear bomb.

I also found no mention that any of it had been shipped to the US although there was mention of moving it from Tuwaitha to another location in Iraq.
Interventor, it is in the Ignatius Article, an arguement AGAINST any need for Hussain to obtain yellowcake from Niger. In fact, the yellowcake was under seal, and the whole time we were being told there were no UN inspectors in Iraq, International Atomic energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors were not only in Iraq, they were in the Storage facility for the yellowcake. (hello, Bush was lying.)

I would hope that everyone would recall that Iraq had a perfectly legitimate nuclear energy program, and a powerplant under construction UNTIL Israel went in a BOMBED THE REACTOR.

THIS IS COPIED AND PASTED FROM THE IGNATIUS ARTICLE IN THE FIRST LINK:
The record begins with a Feb. 13, 2002, memo from a CIA briefer who had been "tasked" by Cheney on the uranium issue: "The VP was shown an assessment (he thought from DIA) that Iraq is purchasing uranium from Africa. He would like our assessment of that transaction and its implications for Iraq's nuclear program." The CIA briefer responded the next day with a comment that should have aroused skepticism on whether Iraq needed to buy any more uranium: Iraq already had 550 tons of "yellowcake" ore -- 200 tons of it from Niger. But the CIA, eager to please, asked Wilson a few days later to go to Niger to investigate the claim.

ok?
