What real docs?
"The" real docs.
I'm just trying to imagine what the need was for a break-in if the forged docs were produced by an embassy employee, or even if they were produced by someone else and merely channeled through an embassy employee per another version of the story.
It could be that "someone" broke in trying to get their hands on information related to a supposed uranium deal. Why such info would be at the Rome embassy is beyond me, unless the contact was between that embassy and Zahawie.
If the story was circulating, and there was fear that some genuine docs might have been pilfered during the break-in, the proper damage control might be to poison the well with the forged docs.
Thats just me trying to put together an explanation I can understand. I welcome alternative explanations. We could probably write a pretty good sceenplay from all this...
