"On the intelligence, what the president said [about Iraq seeking uranium in Africa] raises an interesting issue, which hasn't been followed by the news media sufficiently. The documents on which that statement of the president was based were fabrications. We got them from the British. We asked the British, where did you get these documents? They told us they got them from the Italians. Now, did the Italians fabricate them? And if so, for what purpose? Or did someone else give them to the Italians? "I think we have to pursue that, because the fact of the matter is, our intelligence not only has been poor, but we have been manipulated in the intelligence area by sources which give us intelligence, in order to influence us." Manipulated – by whom? And for what? The significance of the Fitzgerald inquiry is that, before it's over, we'll likely have answers to both questions. Maybe Fitzgerald should call JLA. He seems to be the only one who knows who did the fabrication - 'course he can't quite remember who, and even though it was "widely distributed", he can't seem to find one link. But I'm sure with Fitzgerald's help, all would be revealed. JMO lurqer
