The author of this article is another right-wing wackadoo trying to spin bullshit into gold --- turns out he is lying too.

If you read the AP article that this guy based his report on, it does not say that we have FOUND 550 tons of yellowcake uranium in Iraq, as though it was some kind of surpirse recent discovery or that it somehow vinidcates the lies that Bush used to get us into this mess. It says that this yellowcake was found in 1991 and was safeguarded by the UN at that time. In 2003 it was exactly where it was supposed to be, and there is no evidence that any had been added to the stockpile since it was safeguarded in 1991.

The secrecy that this guy is referring to is not about a secret discovery of yellowcake. The secrecy was about the operation to store and transport it.

Bush lied when he claimed that Iraq had tried to buy more yellowcake from Niger. That was a lie. When Ambassador Joe Wilson exposed that lie, the Bush administration retaliated against Wilson's wife by revealing that she was a CIA agent, thereby ruining her covert identity and putting the lives of her contacts in danger.

This story about a secret operation to transport the yellowcake that everyone knew about since 1991 does not change the fact that Bush lied about Iraq's effort to buy more Yellowcake from Niger. It doesn't change the fact that he put the lives of CIA agents and contacts in jeopardy in order to cover up that lie.
