Angle baselessly claimed that Wilson told the CIA that Iraq "tried, but failed" to get uranium from Niger

SUMMARY: Jim Angle baselessly claimed that Joe Wilson had reported to the CIA that "the Iraqis had indeed tried, but failed" to obtain uranium from Niger. According to a CIA report, a former Nigerien prime minister had "interpreted" an offer to meet with Iraqis on "expanding commercial relations" to mean that "Iraq wanted to discuss uranium yellowcake sales." But the report indicates only that Wilson told the CIA of the former prime minister's interpretation and provides no evidence that Wilson endorsed that view himself.
