LaFree, “Male Power and Female Victimization: Toward a Theory of Interracial Rape,” American Journal of Sociology, Vol. 88, No. 2 (September 1982) (Throughout the 1970s, black-on-white rape was at least ten times more common that white-on-black rape); William Wilbanks, “Frequency and Nature of Interracial Crimes,” submitted for publication to the Justice Professional (November 7, 1990). Data derived from Department of Justice, Criminal Victimization in the United States, 1987, p. 53 (in 1988 there were 9,406 cases of black-on-white rape and fewer than ten cases of white-on-black rape); Department of Justice, Criminal Victimization in the United States, 1997 Statistical Tables, Table 42, available at http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/cvus97.pdf; Department of Justice, Criminal Victimization in the United States, 2005 Statistical Tables, Table 42, available at http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/cvus05.pdf; Department of Justice, Criminal Victimization in the United States, 2006 Statistical Tables, Table 42, available at http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/cvus0602.pdf. See also, Andrew Hacker, Two Nations: Black and White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal (Paperback) (Ballantine Books 1995) at 192 (noting that black men commit rape at five to six times the rate of white men and choose white women as their victims approximately 30 percent of the time).

48. In the February 12, 2002, memo, Plame writes “it seems that Niger has signed a contract with Iraq to sell them uranium,” and then says our embassy disputes that. She goes on to say:
So where do I fit in? As you may recall, [redacted] of CP/[office 2] recently approached my husband to possibly use his contacts in Niger to investigate [a separate Niger matter]. After many fits and starts, [redacted] finally advised that the station wished to pursue this with liaison. My husband is willing to help, if it makes sense, but no problem if not. End of story.
Now, with this report, it is clear that the IC is still wondering what is going on … my husband has good relations with both the PM and the former minister of mines, not to mention lots of French contacts, both of whom could possibly shed light on this sort of activity. To be frank with you, I was somewhat embarrassed by the agency’s sloppy work last go-round, and I am hesitant to suggest anything again. However, [my husband] may be in a position to assist. Therefore, request your thoughts on what, if anything, to pursue here. Thank you for your time on this.

I’m convinced on the basis of what I heard that there were some meetings in Paris. I know that the Iranians changed their policy at that time.’ Just over a month before that, on Aug. 26, 1988, Mr. Sick told the New York Daily News in a telephone interview: ‘There is something here. I just don’t know how much.’ ”
