The camp in question was not, in fact, under the control of the Kurds, and could easily serve as a training camp sponsored by the regime. It was indisputably used by Al- Qaida. I cannot recall what other evidence was presented, but it is wrong to say that it was proven to be untrue.

I have already commented on the fellow who checked up on the Niger situation. As far as the forgery determination goes, I take the Administration's word that it had more to go on than that, even if it were later considered not firm enough.

Duel use material is duel use material. There was never any convincing case made that they were not meant for nuclear programs.

There was not "silence" about erroneous reports. The corrections came from the Administration, in a timely manner.

The Administration is correct, the moble labs were pretty damning. The doubts expressed were not very convincing, and seemed to mean no more than being less than 100% sure.
