If so, the information Bush relied upon was from MI6, not the CIA. And to this day, the Brits have not rescinded the validity of their source.. (rumoured to be French intelligence sources since the Niger mines are French operated).

It was an obvious forgery. Was it beyond the capability of the CIA to ascertain that it was a forgery. The IAEA figured it out pretty damn quick. The US admits it was a forgery. Are you telling me that the Brits are still claiming that it wasn't a forgery?

French intelligence sources? Utterly crap logic. It's no wonder that Rumsfeld thought Saddam had WMD if he used crap logic like that.

The source had been previously held to be credible.. passed a poly.. blah, blah..

Partly. Either sometimes he lies and sometimes he doesn't or maybe polys aren't all that reliable.

But that said, the stories of some of the suspects seem suspicious as well. Somewhere in between lies the truth.

Or a different truth altogether. We have no real way of knowing whether the informant was passing information that he knew we wanted to hear, whether it was a hoax, a disrupted attack, or disinformation.
