LAT misstates Plame facts, again

In a sidebar titled "The Plame affair," the LAT says that Bush, in his 2003 State of the Union address, said that Iraq had sought uranium from Niger, which is wrong. Bush said the Brits had learned that Iraq sought uranium in Africa. Bush didn't mention Niger. The Brits stand by that to this day. And Joseph Wilson learned, on his trip to Niger, that Iraqis had visited Niger in 1999 to discuss trade at a time when Niger's only exportable product was yellowcake.
