WTF Is It Now?!?

Bush was told not to use Niger uranium claim on Iraq in SOTU speech by CIA
From CNN (thanks to DU poster NNN0LHI for the link):

DAVID ENSOR, CNN CORRESPONDENT: "We've learned from sources in the last day or so, that there were earlier drafts of the president's State of the Union message that were circulated, or this part of the draft, in which American intelligence was credited with having information about these attempts to buy uranium in Niger.

"I understand from sources that U.S. intelligence officials went back to the administration and said, "No, we don't -- we don't think we can support that information, you probably shouldn't say that." And apparently, a decision was subsequently made to leave the assertion in the speech anyway, but attribute it to the British white paper, which of course had already publicly made the claim.

"Now CIA officials are declining all comment on this, but I'm confident that the sources I've spoken to are speaking accurately about that matter."
