No one knows where those came from. They were originally sold by an African diplomat or businessman, I believe. I suppose, yes, that someone forging such things should get in trouble. However, the workmanship was crude, and could not hold up to any serious scrutiny, according to reports, so I am reasonably sure the CIA didn't do it........

<<Cheney's intelligence role scrutinized>> ............."Knowing how the system works," it is inconceivable that Cheney's office was not briefed by the CIA about his findings, said Wilson, a career diplomat who served under Republican and Democratic administrations. "If you are senior enough to ask the question, then you are senior enough to merit a specific response." But Jennifer Millerwise, a spokeswoman for Cheney, says the vice president did not know of Wilson's trip or of his findings. A senior White House official said Friday that Bush never saw the "highly dubious" verdict because it was contained in a footnote that the president failed to read. The president "is not a fact checker," the official said. Yet a reference to the State Department's doubts about the immediacy of the danger posed by Iraq's nuclear program was included in the very first paragraph of the "Key Judgments" that formed the heart of the CIA's National Intelligence Estimate. denverpost.com
