Intelligence Community agencies did not effectively authenticate the documents regarding an alleged agreement for the sale of uranium yellowcake from Niger to Iraq. The President referred to this alleged agreement in his State of the Union address on January 28, 2003-- evidence for which the Intelligence Community later concluded was based on forged documents


The intelligence item stated by the President in the State of the Union wasn't based on the forged documents from Italian intelligence. They were based on British intelligence (“The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa") - that says they didn't base it on the forged documents - and Joe Wilson, who got first-hand statements from officials in Niger.
