Today's Plame/YellowcakeGate Update

Rove-a-Palooza/Gettin' Jiggy Wit Libby

Things are hotting up again in the PlameGate case. First, this Raw Story report:

A series of striking revelations have emerged after the release of dozens of pages of court files in the CIA leak investigation that have gone unnoticed by the mainstream media, RAW STORY has found.

Some of them have been uncovered by astute bloggers – including the fact that the outed agent’s husband will not testify at a trial, and that a third Time reporter has been fingered as having information potentially relevant to some aspects of the case.

And this tidbit from the tenacious Murray Waas over at the National Journal regarding the genus of this whole thing--the assertion that Iraq was purchasing yellowcake uranium from Niger:

Vice President Cheney and his then-Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby were personally informed in June 2003 that the CIA no longer considered credible the allegations that Saddam Hussein had attempted to procure uranium from the African nation of Niger, according to government records and interviews with current and former officials. The new CIA assessment came just as Libby and other senior administration officials were embarking on an effort to discredit an administration critic who had also been saying that the allegations were untrue.
[...]
Despite the CIA's findings, Libby attempted to discredit former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who had been sent on a CIA-sponsored mission to Niger the previous year to investigate the claims, which he concluded were baseless.

This comes on the heels of yesterday's Raw Story report that emails are missing from both the Vice President and President's offices.
