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. Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, also rejected a key Bush administration claim - made twice by the president in major speeches and repeated by Colin Powell yesterday - that Iraq had tried to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes to use in centrifuges for uranium enrichment. Also, ElBaradei reported finding no evidence of banned weapons or nuclear material in an extensive sweep of Iraq using advanced radiation detectors.
"I really wish these f*ckwits in Washington would quit pulling our chains. This is getting to be just too much," an aide to ElBaradei said. - link.
