the whole nigerian yellowcake uranium thing has been confusing as all hell, and i don't see the MSM pick up the latest reports on the forgeries from italy's la repubblica. i want to take some time to read through the translation carefully, so that i get a better feeling for it. it just smells ... it smells like a nasty little conspiracy (and i am not eager for those). la repubblica is doing some really impressive investigative reporting here.

Yes, the bits I've heard about the robbery of the Nigerian embassy, the fruits of which produced the forgeries in question, are sounding particularly nasty.

Argh. If I think too much about this and about the soldiers and civilians who've lost their lives over these lies, I may punch something. *goes to look for distractions*
