The Nation | Blog | The Daily Outrage | Bolton's Big Secret | Ari Berman: "Much has been written about the appointment of unilateralist uber-hawk John Bolton as America's new UN ambassador, but there's been almost nothing regarding Bolton's role in promoting the fantasy that Saddam Hussein tried to acquire enriched uranium from Niger. In fact, United Press International is the only national news agency or publication thus far to detail Bolton's behind-the-scenes dealings, in a news story by Christian Bourge and a column by Steve Clemons, who's monitored Bolton at his blog The Washington Note."
