Kucinich Demands IG Investigation Into FBI's Handling Of Investigation Into Forged Niger Documents

FBI Drops Investigation Just As Italians Make A Potential Break In The Case;
Kucinich Sends Department Of Justice A Letter Demanding Investigation

The letter asks in part:

The forged documents may have surfaced in Italy, but they directly impacted U.S. foreign policy, with serious repercussions. The President used the uranium forgeries as evidence that Iraq was producing nuclear weapons. He declared this evidence to the American people in his 2003 State of the Union address as reason for military intervention in Iraq.

I respectfully request that you review the F.B.I. investigation. How extensive was the investigation? Were there sufficient numbers of investigators and resources committed to the investigation? Did the F.B.I. interview White House officials? Which ones? Did the F.B.I. interview officials from the C.I.A. or other intelligence agencies? Which ones? What were the findings of the investigation? What is your overall assessment of the quality and thoroughness of the investigation? Furthermore, I request that you determine whether or not the investigation was prematurely closed and recommend whether or not you believe it should be reopened. I look forward to your response to my requests.

I suppose that, in part, this tells us a bit where the entire Fitzgerald investigation is/has headed, or not headed, as the case may be. posted by Cyndy | link | | |
