State Dept. Warned Bush of No Niger Uranium Deal

New York Times gets declassified State Department repor that was given to Bush showing there was no real possibility of such a deal.

Among other problems that made such a sale improbable, the assessment by the State Department’s intelligence analysts concluded, was that it would have required Niger to send “25 hard-to-conceal 10-ton tractor-trailers” filled with uranium across 1,000 miles and at least one international border.
