the CIA did not pass on the detailed results of its investigation to the White House or other government agencies, the officials said

You mean the CIA is passing out informtion to Great Britain that it wouldn't pass on to the President or other American agencies? That sounds like a treasonable charge to me. There must be another Aldrich Ames at the agency.

Glenn,

Re: Maybe because he was not aware that it was false.

When I heard that first reported this morning my immediate reaction was that this is one of the lamest lies yet fabricated by the Bushies. The much more likely case is the one I've been stating and adhering to ever since the Niger contract forgery surfaced. The Bushies have been using phony intelligence to lie to the public. They distorted this and they knew all along that this document was faked.

Today's regurgitation in the Washington Post, the Wash Times and elsewhere is just more lies, more embellishment and an effort, just like Tony Bliar made last week in England to use the intelligence services as a scapegoat for the fact that the Bushies and Blair have been caught out making monumental lies to the public.

Glenn,

Here's a much more sensible and honest report than what was in the Washington Post article you provided:

BUSH LIES DEPT.: The Phony "Yellow Cake" Forgeries, Bush Knew he was Lying, Cheney knew for certain... according to a former CIA analyst --

Now "senior administration officials" are telling gullible reporters that Cheney was never informed of the outcome of the investigation he ordered. I'm not making this up.

Glenn,

I hate to beat a dead horse, but the overwhelming evidence that George Bush knew that he had a forgery to work with in the matter of the Niger 'yellow cake' contract keeps mounting up. Here's yet another article refuting the lies of George Bush:

counterpunch.org

SNIP:

I refer to the bogus story that Iraq was attempting to acquire uranium from Niger to develop nuclear weapons. Those who followed developments at the UN have known since February that that story was based on a crude forgery. What is little known is that the Bush administration knew it was bogus a full year earlier. (Those who find themselves wondering why Powell and Rice have conceded the point need only to remember that the UN now has the forged documents.)

****

What was left? Someone remembered the forged correspondence between Iraq and Niger, decided that it could be used to win the vote in Congress, to win the war in Iraq, and in the afterglow of victory, no one would care that the evidence was bogus.

It worked.

Small wonder that Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), in a March 17 letter to the president, expressed outrage at having been deceived into voting for war, since "the evidence cited regarding Iraq's efforts to obtain nuclear weapons is a hoax."
