Happy Fitzmas!
No doubt Irish political obsessives are eagerly following the Plame investigation, which recently dragged in the New York Times via the questionable past activities of reporter Judith Miller.
A few may also remember the forged Niger yellowcake documents which the Bush administration miraculously produced to 'prove' that Saddam was looking to develop nuclear weapons, and hence take the United States to war against Iraq. Talking Points Memo's Josh Marshall has been investigating the story behind the yellowcake forgeries when most of the mainstream press wouldn't , and has uncovered a good deal about what looks like an operation originating within the ranks of Neo-cons within the Bush administration itself. Quelle surprise! as they say.
And now that this sordid little tale seems about to intersect with the Plame investigation in an explosive way, TPM is most certainly the blog to keep an eye on over the next weeks and months. This is going to get 'interesting'.
