The BBC includes this under a sub-head "Unexplained." I'd say it explains it perfectly, with the first statement the operative one and the second merely BS propaganda.
The Islamist-loving BBC also obliges by highlighting, "Bush and Blair" blah-blah, in a nice bold box, so that the typical reader scanning the page sees only that.
Probably the only reason for BBC to cover it is to trash Bush and Blair. I don't think they're even mentioning it on Fox, though, to be fair, I haven't been paying complete attention.
