And the originating source, unfortunately, is the Iraqi interim government. NOT CENTCOM. Even Arab governments allied to us have really been prone to exciteable, bogus reports, or stuff that doesn't get translated correctly.

Until I hear from Rather/Kinkos I'm going to remain unconvinced ;-)
Rove is slipping then.
