Is anyone discussing that the forged Niger-Iraq documents relied upon by the Bush Administration as a grounds for going to war were full of flaws??
Which documents were more important in the grand scheme of things? Clearly, Niger.
The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. -- President Bush's justification for killing four thousand Iraqi civilians: a fake document
Nonetheless, things don't look good though for CBS. Whose heads do you think will roll? Mary Mapes? Rather? CBS President Andrew Heyward? They must be deep into crisis control talks...who do you think is advising them?
Update: David Neiwert of Orcinus points out no one has actually determined the CBS documents to be fakes. Check this out, and see if you can tell which was typed on a 1972 IBM selectric and which in MS Word?
[Answer: the top one.]
Update: Josh Marshall discusses the Niger faked document investigation in the context of the Valerie Plame investigation today.
