Is Michael Ledeen a Criminal?

Here and here Scott Horton suggests that Ledeen may be involved with the forged Niger yellowcake documents.

Here are some thoughts on the subject by Steve Sailer from earlier this year.

Of course, there is quite a bit of disagreement as to how much these particular documents contributed to the claim that Saddam was seeking uranium from Africa, so it is not entirely clear to me that these documents played a major role in getting us into war. Nonetheless, they were obviously intended to help to get us into war in Iraq, so whatever role they played, the forger was trying to distort our foreign policy with false evidence. So whoever forged them should be prosecuted under applicable statutes.

That is all.
