<UK officials were confident that the dossier's statement was based on reliable intelligence which had not been shared with the US.>

Inquiring minds want to know what, exactly, is that other "reliable intelligence"? We are way past the point of taking anything on faith.

They are tying themselves in knots here, making a consistent cover story impossible, as everyone tries to make someone else the fall-guy. The Brits blame the Americans, the White House blames the CIA, The Pentagon and the State Dept. have an ongoing Cold War, high-level leaks happen everywhere. The Sec of State says he didn't use the "unreliable" Chad uranium story, but loyally defends the President's use of it.
