Who Is Behind the Niger Forgeries?

Nicholas Beaudrot finds himself unable to say what he is thinking:

Ezra Klein: What's Behind Door #1, Monty?: Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake spots former CIA analyst Ray McGovern suggesting ... well, I can't actually bring myself to say it, because to do so would bring voice to the idea that reality has plunged into some frightening chimera combining The Long Kiss Goodnight and Noam Chomsky's rantings. But it goes further than anything Marshall ever reported. Now, McGovern has been something of an anti-war gadfly since retirement, and he's not willing to reveal his evidence "yet", but perhaps there is something to look into here...

I think Josh Marshall and Laura Rozen have been thinking these thoughts for a long time, but likewise can't bring themselves to say it. I know that reading the material made me wonder along those lines.

If Ray McGovern has something solid, I sure hope he dishes to someone, and soon. I'm not sure what his game was to spout off like that with nothing to back it up. Feh, otherwise it just makes the whole thing sound like the rantings of a conspiracy theorist.

All I want is something solid enough to justify turning loose the Capital Police on Condi when she stonewalls Waxman's subpoena.
