You're the one drinking the KoolAid as fast as Bushco can whip it up. Before you take another sip and drift off into fantasyland...YES FORGED: . In 2005, Vincent Cannistraro, the former head of counterterrorism operations at the CIA and the intelligence director at the National Security Council under Ronald Reagan, expressed the opinion that the documents had been produced in the United States and funneled through the Italians: "The documents were fabricated by supporters of the policy in the United States. The policy being that you had to invade Iraq in order to get rid of Saddam Hussein ...." [14] The Los Angeles Times reported on December 3, 2005, that the FBI reopened the inquiry into how the Bush administration came to rely on forged documents linking Iraq to nuclear weapons materials as part of its justification for the invasion. The bureau's initial investigation found no evidence of foreign government involvement in the forgeries. But the FBI did not interview Martino, a central figure in a parallel drama unfolding in Rome. This oversight and recent revelations in La Repubblica is reason for reopening the investigation. Citing concern the forged Niger documents might be evidence of a "larger deception campaign," (i.e. Plame affair or Downing Street memo) it has been requested that the FBI determine the source of the forgeries and why the intelligence community did not realize earlier that the documents were fraudulent, among other questions.[30] [edit] See also en.wikipedia.org and the forgery was discovered almost immediately after that idiot presented it as fact: WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Intelligence documents that U.S. and British governments said were strong evidence that Iraq was developing nuclear weapons have been dismissed as forgeries by U.N. weapons inspectors. The documents, given to International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohamed ElBaradei, indicated that Iraq might have tried to buy 500 tons of uranium from Niger, but the agency said they were "obvious" fakes. U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell referred to the documents directly in his presentation to the U.N. Security Council outlining the Bush administration's case against Iraq cnn.com
