Yep.
...Here's for reference RK's post from a year ago.
"... Other officials said the FBI has sent agents to Italy and other nations to find out the origin of the [forged] documents According to John Loftus they came from France. The French were involved in selling uranium to Iraq through Niger. The French (Chirac's goverment, not French Intelligence ) put this out to poison the well and discredit all the other (5?)Niger/uranium documents that contained solid intelligence they didn't want to get out
The DGSE gave Briton good info and Chirac wanted to discredit it.
(as I remember from WABC, please correct me if I'm wrong)
That would make sense and I tend to believe it, though I'd like to know what Loftus' source was on that and/or if another on-the-record source has confirmed that. I'm skeptical of Loftus based on my long-term acquaintance with his work (since about 1991 when he published
Unholy Trinity), and my skepticism was reinforced last year when he reported that Saddam was dead (
"The last guest on tonight's Batchelor & Alexander show (WABC radio, 9:00 PM-l:00 AM) was John Loftus (John-Loftus.com). . .He gave a detailed report, stating that Saddam, his sons, and high government officials are all dead.":
THE SNAKES HEAD HAS BEEN CUT OFF (Saddam, sons & high officials dead)). So I could believe this information, but my belief is tentative until I see some corroborating evidence from another source.
