Obviously this memo seemed suspicious from the moment we heard about it (being just A Little Too Convenient, mentioning Niger and all...). However, I have never seen it actually debunked. The only thing we saw was some Newsweek (or whatever) story quoting a handwriting expert saying it was "probably a forgery", even though that handwriting expert hadn't actually seen the memo. Which, needless to say, pointed my antennas in the other direction....

Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily think that makes the memo genuine. But, if the memo's really fake, that was a pretty lousy way to convince people. In fact it was nothing if not a surefire way to make people smell "coverup", even if there was none.

And there's been absolute silence since, hasn't there?

Might be interesting to see if the new interim Iraqi leader is ever asked about this at a press conference, eh? :-)

Unfortunately, if he is ever asked about this connection, it won't be by an English speaking reporter and the media would never bother printing the translation if it undermines their ideology.
