The memo purports to include minutes from a July 2002 meeting with Tony Blair, in which Blair allegedly said that President Bush's administration "fixed" intelligence on Iraq in order to justify the Iraqi war.

The British definition of the word "fixed" means to verify as accurate.

The British definition of the word "fixed" means to verify as accurate.

Yes, but as many words do, it has other meanings as well. In this case, the context rules. The complete phrase is:

"But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."

There's not much room for parsing. The context, together with the actual phrase, makes the allegation pretty clear - "fixed around" means "molded" or "manipulated."
