Massive corruption linked to the Tubes big-lie.
The famous 16 words are now inoperative but the sentence after them isn't yet. The next sentence related to aluminum tubes and is equally significant as the 16 words relating to Yellowcake. Because the BIG-LIE was a binary weapon it required Yellowcake AND Tubes ( tubes to concentrate and purify and weaponize the uranium )
Much of the lying, forging and fiddling has been uncovered on the 16 words side yet much remains to be done to expose the lying, frigging and criminal fiddling on the tubes side.
Here is more on that - it's emerging from a dreadful murderous scandal in it's own right - the corruption cancer on the presidents stinking party.
One NGIC insider recalled how the Bush administration cooked the intelligence on the alleged Iraqi aluminum tubes claimed to be for use in Iraqi nuclear centrifuges: "As the person who briefed Colin Powell [then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs], Cheney [then Defense Secretary], and Pete Williams [then Cheney's spokesperson] about Iraq's Italian artillery rockets during Desert Storm, I knew those aluminum tubes were Egyptian knock offs of the Italian gun barrels we captured in 1991," the imagery intelligence (IMINT) analyst said. The analyst added that this fact about Iraq's procurement of the Egyptian artillery tubes for the Italian-made Medusa-81 rockets after Desert Storm was well known to both Cheney and Powell.
The NGIC analyst said that the Pentagon neo-cons went to specialists at NGIC who had expertise on artillery rockets and got them to confirm the aluminum tubes were for nuclear centrifuges. The analyst emphasized that those specialists were not experts on centrifuges and had no place in making such assumptions. However, after the outbreak of the Iraq war, all the NGIC analysts who went along with the intelligence cooking were promoted rapidly. Those who questioned the intelligence manipulation were fired from their jobs and had their security clearances revoked.
NGIC is also embroiled in a fraud scandal involving outside contractors (similar to the problems at NSA involving TRAILBLAZER and GROUNDBREAKER contacts). NGIC insiders report that current and former senior officials of the agency have major conflicts of interest with NGIC's prime contractor, MZM, Inc., which has recently been on the sales block after it was discovered that the founder of the defense and intelligence contractor, Mitchell Wade, purchased and then sold California Republican Representative Randy "Duke" Cunningham's Del-Mar home at a $700,000 loss to Wade. "MZM" stand for the names of Wade's three children -- Matthew, Zachary and Morgan. It was later discovered that Wade allowed Cunningham to live aboard his yacht, named the "Duke-Stir," berthed at Washington, DC's Capitol Yacht Club. Cunningham also serves on the powerful House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. Amid the Cunningham scandal, Wade resigned as President and CEO of MZM and replaced himself with retired three-star Army General James King, a close friend and associate. Wade's move came after his previously-selected replacement, chief operating officer Frank Bragg, suddenly resigned after being named President and CEO. Former Bush Director of the Office of Personnel Management Kay Cole James, a recently-named Vice President of MZM, also resigned suddenly. FROM a link supplied through the excellent WMR website.
