ace.,,,you may also want to reread the Op Ed by Joseph Wilson, in which he walks through the process by which he came to conclusions about Niger as a soure of yellowcake....and how the WH either ignored his findings or misrepresented (ie lied) his findings:
What I Didnt Find in Africa
and for that, the WH retaliated against his wife, for which the DCI was concerned enough to ask for a DOJ investigation.
And you think the WH action was honorable and necessary?
