CHICAGO - (KRT) - Forged documents that the United States used to build its case against Iraq were likely written by someone in Niger's embassy in Rome who hoped to make quick money, a source close to the United Nations investigation said.
The documents, about a dozen letters on Niger's governmental letterhead, suggested that the African nation had agreed to supply Iraq with uranium, used in nuclear weapons production, the source said. Some of the letters were addressed to an Iraqi official.

Some Evidence on Iraq Called Fake
U.N. Nuclear Inspector Says Documents on Purchases Were Forged

A key piece of evidence linking Iraq to a nuclear weapons program appears to have been fabricated, the United Nations' chief nuclear inspector said yesterday in a report that called into question U.S. and British claims about Iraq's secret nuclear ambitions.
.....
Knowledgeable sources familiar with the forgery investigation described the faked evidence as a series of letters between Iraqi agents and officials in the central African nation of Niger. The documents had been given to the U.N. inspectors by Britain and reviewed extensively by U.S. intelligence. The forgers had made relatively crude errors that eventually gave them away -- including names and titles that did not match up with the individuals who held office at the time the letters were purportedly written, the officials said.
"We fell for it," said one U.S. official who reviewed the documents.
A spokesman for the IAEA said the agency did not blame either Britain or the United States for the forgery. The documents "were shared with us in good faith," he said.
is this the document that somehow got slipped into Powell's documents to the UN?
Two sets?
bttt
No.
I'll have to read this thread again in the morning .. I'm just to tired to be able to process it all tonight
One of these days, I guess I really should learn some HTNL, so that I could do a link. *sigh*
The "Powell memo" is a later one and about old Valerie, the wannabe Mata Hari, having sent Mr. Mata Hari off to Niger and some other things.
I get so crazy when I read this stuff; I keep finding more and more articles from back "then" and I just sit up all night and read.
And less than a week later a Senator is requesting the FBI to investigate? That is some quick service.
No wonder the MSM is dead and scared blue of us; we have ALL the info they should be talking about, in one place, and they ignore.
Don't even bother doing a search on the keywords "yellowcake" or "Niger," much less "Plame" or "Wilson."
It's the damn motherlode.
And the surprising thing is that Freepers have had it nailed almost from the beginning.
When is Rockefeller, failed NY candidate for Senate, carpet-bagger to WV, up for re-election?
Almost like somebody had a "plan."
Add that ugly bitch from Senator Dodd's office to your list of people who need to have their heads just fall off.
Oh, man. Great video of Fonda in NK yucking it up with Commies on Kasich's show just now (yeah, it's a repeat - I'm up late).
FOFL!! Good find!
Thanks.............do you think you might be able to find this one?
