NONSENSE!!!! You have no idea what the British base their claim on
because they won't say. You choose to believe them. The CIA doesn't.
Every credible investigator has concluded the British claim is a crock.

I didn't "bite" on anything, John. How absurd. I've read dozens of
articles on this subject from numerous credible sources. You're
ignoring so much evidence contrary to your view- overwhelming evidence
in fact- about not only the documents but the whole shadowy neocon web
of illegal contacts that led to this false story as well as other
neocon myths. I suggest you read this article:

And this one:

If you're looking for the REAL reason this Niger lie got into the
President's speech (and yes, it WAS a lie- I don't believe the Brits
any more than the CIA does), you could start with neocons Michael
Ledeen and Stephen Hadley and their rogue White House operation.
