Would this be the kind of smoking gun that turned out to be a plagiarized student paper or the one that UN says is just a counterfeit copy designed to justify the invasion? nytimes.com Forensic Experts Uncovered Forgery on Iraq, an Inspector Says By FELICITY BARRINGER NITED NATIONS, March 8 — The forgery in a document that purported to show Iraq trying to buy uranium from Niger was discovered by forensic experts, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said today. Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei, the agency's executive director, said the experts found anomalies in the signatures, the letterhead and the format of the document. He told the Security Council on Friday that the forgery had been compared with authentic documents provided by Niger. In an interview today, he said that any number of groups would have had an interest in planting the document, which he said came to him from several sources. It was quoted in a report from British intelligence services last year as Britain and the United States sought to build their case for disarming Iraq.
