Uranium from Africa and the Senate (SSCI) Report - Part 3

by eriposte

This is the third part of this series focusing on the findings on the "uranium from Africa" issue in the whitewash Senate Report - the report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). Previous parts are here: Introduction, Part 1, Part 2. This part addresses the following question:

Were the intelligence reports relating to the "uranium from Africa" issue actually credible (without the benefit of hindsight)?

To answer this question, I plan to analyze in subsequent posts (sub-sections to Part 3) each individual report of an alleged uranium procurement attempt by Iraq, as highlighted in the Senate Report.

I will first cover the various reports relating to Niger and then address the sparse comments on alleged attempts relating to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia.
