The documents inspired intense U.S. interest in the buildup to the war — and they led the CIA to send a former ambassador to the African nation of Niger to investigate whether Iraq had sought the materials there. The ambassador, Joseph C. Wilson IV, found little evidence to support such a claim, and the documents were later deemed to have been forged.

Good grief, they are STILL pushing this lie? Even after it's been debunked repeatedly?

At least they are now saying that it was the CIA that sent him. One step forward and 2 steps back.

I read between the lines that they are going to investigate THE SOURCE of the document. Looks like they tried to bury that fact in a bath of BullHockey. But everything in this article points to an investigation of where the document originated. Which could be VERY interesting indeed. There was some speculation that this document could be linked to the international seditionist leftist groups, such as the democrat party or groups linked to moveon.org.

Look for followups to this story on page A12 below the fold.
