Is there a way of investigating the SSCI (Senate Select Committe on Intelligence) under Roberts?Here's why...
Here's a portion of the SSCI version of the March 11, 2003 SPWR ("Senior Publish When Ready") prepared by WINPAC (Weapons Intelligence, Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Center (click to magnify) [source]
And here's the version that was released with the Libby documents [source pdf]:
Note that the phrase “CIA had recommended that the UK not use this information in their paper” was deleted from the SSCI document. Now why do you think they'd do that? Well to quote eReposte...
Let's momentarily set aside the fact that there was zero justification for classifying/redacting the highlighted phrase - this was a pure and simple cover-up on behalf of the British Government. The main point here is that Blair and his lackeys in the British Parliament fraudulently stood their ground on the uranium claim in the aftermath of the Joseph Wilson op-ed in July 2003, and in doing so, performed a great "service" to Bush-Cheney. Bush and Cheney responded in kind by going to extraordinary lengths to hide information pertaining to the CIA's dismissal of the validity or credibility of the British claim in the 2004 Phase I SSCI report - a "service" that Bush-Cheney lackey Pat Roberts was clearly only too willing to perform, with WINPAC's help.To be clear the "cover-up on behalf of the British government" was the SSCI's hiding of the fact the the CIA had advised the Brits to not use the dubious information. Someone on the SSCI staff should be required to explain under oath why this was done.
Acknowedgement: I want to thank Mrs. K8 at Firedoglake for suggesting the title "Follow the Yellowcake Road".

Hi there, brownandserve!
At this early stage of development, I must say that your colors and layout look appealing. Will be popping in here as I can to see what's what with the unmasking of Pat Robert's weaselly conniving and maneuvering. He shouldn't get away with that sham of an SSCI "investigation" and report he conducted, that was such a shameful thing.
Hope you caught my note responding to you later in the FDL thread we were participating in Saturday evening -- it contained my apologies for goofing badly in the description of your purpose. It was not lack of interest in your endeavor, but rather a lack of physical and mental wherewithal on my side -- a brain hiccup!
Good luck with this! It's a side of the story that hasn't been covered enough and deserves exposure.
Mrs. K8
Mrs. K8,
I saw your note in the Firedoglake comments. No worries. No apology needed. Thanks for your support.
