Didnt' I read that before the Gulf war, some officials from Iraq had asked Niger about yellowcake? In any case, a question that was asked 15 years before doesn't constitute an "imminent threat" by any measure. And it doesn't support the Bush administration claim "Saddam is trying to buy uranium." In fact, I can find no support for that claim anywhere outside wacko right wing pundits.
