I'm quoting CBS news in my posts. If it's lies then it's CBS's lies.

They also reported:

<“The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa,” Mr. Bush said.

The statement was technically correct, since it accurately reflected the British paper. But the bottom line is the White House knowingly included in a presidential address information its own CIA had explicitly warned might not be true.

Today at a press conference during the President’s trip to Africa, Secretary of State Colin Powell portrayed it as an honest mistake.>

It's a lie when you say something in an important speech, that your own intelligence warns about.
