British Intelligence Documents 'Unfounded'
CPI News Exclusive - Investigative Report

Recent press reports and statements, including a statement from IAEA Director General Mohamed Elbaradei presented to the UN Security Counsel on March 7, 2003 indicate that documents allegedly obtained by British intelligence agents supporting allegations that Iraqi officials attempted to acquire uranium in 1999 and 2000 were fakes.

Allegations were made that in 1999 and 2000 Iraqi officials attempted to purchase uranium from Niger. In fact, British intelligence sources claimed to have documents and in fact produced these documents in their 2002 "dossier" on Iraq's alleged possession weapons of mass destruction.

The supposed intelligence contained in the "dossier" was later found to have been copied from a research paper written by a graduate student and also from material taken from Janes research service.

This is really, really old news. The report was trashed months ago, and Blair certainly became more causious because of it, that's for sure!
Our FBI and CIA had been so depleated by he last administration, I'm sure Bush had to re-check everything we had as well - just in case! There's lefties out to start trouble just about everywhere, like the Al Quata!

The actual evidence of how Hussein isn't disarming and is actually fully arming in every possible way is classified. I want our operatives who acquired that intelligence to live. I guess you feel otherwise.

Well, hopefully these fellows will be leading journalists one day when they finally get educated about the world. Perhaps they should use FR as a source rather than vice versa.

From their Web site:

Launched by two high-school brothers, Daniel and Nathan McClintock, in September of 2001 only one week after the WTC attacks, Conservative Press International (CPI News) has met the extra demand for news. Starting out at a few visitors a day, the news portal has grown to several thousand a day. Although young, it is making leaps and bounds across the internet.

As a reliable news source, a unique class of staff composed almost entirely of conservative teenagers operate the website 24 hours a day 7 days a week from undisclosed locations across the globe.

With correspondents around the world, and hundreds of news sources from across the internet, CPI News has already proven to be one of the fastest news portals on the web.

CPI News also boasts a news forum where visitors discuss the latest news and debate current issues. Also available are the breaking news alerts where news hounds from across the world can receive timely alerts whenever breaking news happens in their email inbox, or digital cell phone or pager.

Also recently launched is the CPI News Special Edition, featuring CPI's own commentary page, more exclusives and special reports, and in-depth articles concerning issues facing conservatives such as abortion, the homosexual agenda, education, and more. The Special Edition is updated once a day during the week, excluding weekends. The commentary section is updated each Thursday.

Nathan McClintock, co-founder of CPI News, stated CPI's objective: "We see the same things that the medias sees, and yet, we report on them differently. It is not that we mean to be biased, yet bias is part of our sin nature. The best thing to do, is just to be honest. CPI News attempts to bring both sides of an issue; but, unlike the liberal media, CPI News does not hide behind the title of unbiased. In reality, CPI News wants you to know the truth."

Being a part of the New Media revolution, the future of CPI News has just begun.
