First there was the news that Powel disclosed outdated plagiarized student paper as critical evidence of Iraq's WMD and danger.

Then there was the cartoons of mobile labs, which Blix completely discounted in his subsequent report to UN.

Now there is the news that documents given to UN as evidence of Iraq's shopping for uranium are counterfeit and without merit.

If this was a real court, Iraq could sue for malicious prosecution!

Not to mention that it was Britain and US all along who sold the chemical weapon factories to Saddam in the first place...let me see the logic in this..."we are going to invade Iraq because it has weapons that we sold him in the first place and because we can forge documents for whatever else we did not sell him". Am I the only one who finds this logic perverse?!

If anything, this is grounds for court marshalling the governments of UK and US who sold Saddam the means in the first place. Why do I never hear a word about accountability of arms merchants?
