Josh Marshall raises an interesting question:
I’m curious whether today’s fireworks on the Rove/Plame matter will resurrect any more serious interest in the whole underlying issue of who forged those phoney Niger uranium documents or whether there will be more searching scrutiny into that paste-up job that was last year’s Senate Select Intelligence Committee report on Iraq intel.
As I’ve discussed at various points at TPM, the FBI has gone out of its way not to do any serious investigation into where these documents came from. The interviews they conducted in Italy were cursory. And when the man who actually peddled the documents to the Italian journalist was named publicly in several European papers, they still made no attempt to interview him — even when we brought him to the US under his own name, twice.
Dare we hope that we’ll soon see the unraveling of the whole web of Rove and Pals’ lies and dirty tricks?
