Senator Asks FBI to Investigate Fake Iraq Document
The senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee asked the FBI on Friday to investigate fake documents the United States used as evidence to the United Nations of alleged Iraqi efforts to acquire uranium from Niger.
"As you know, the International Atomic Energy Agency has recently determined that some of the intelligence documents provided to it by the United States are forgeries," Sen. John Rockefeller said in a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts said seemed to take it personally: "The bottom line is that the United States does not need this one piece of evidence to make its case against Iraq," lied the Kansas republican. "The implication of Senator Rockefeller's letter is that the intelligence community forged these documents to somehow bolster the case against Iraq. It just doesn't make sense that the U.S. government would forge documents and then not use them in its case or vouch for their authenticity." Smells like desperation, bunghole. - link.
