George W. Bush, the US president, cited UK intelligence information as the source of claims that Iraq had been trying to buy unenriched uranium. But the forged documents, some of which are thought to have been the result of a criminal scam, have never been in the possession of UK officials. They never sought to correct the mistaken impression that the source of the claim was the fake documents, as it was thought it would have embarrassed Mr Bush.

IAEA officials have said that none of the documentation they received regarding Iraq and Niger came from the UK. ...

Not sure I understand "embarrassed Mr. Bush". What came out of their letting things appear to be a muddy mess, was the "turning" of Libya.

The Wilson & Co., seems to have been hatched out a ploy to deceive and what happened was somebody got outed and the lying crooked liberals decided to throw Wilson's wife out there as the point of focus, changing the subject.

Clearing up the muddy mess might well have exposed what was really going on. The US media was used but not by the President's staff but by those who did not want the real dealings to be learned.

The lying crooked liberals exposed themselves as being "intel" deficient with Rockerfeller's leaked memo.
