What truth could there be here? Is anyone alleging that some CIA guy in the field made this up out of whole cloth? I don't hear that. Is anyone alleging that somebody in the White House made it up? I don't hear anyone claiming that either.

I will allege something. The uranium procurement allegation was based on forged documents. Someone forged said forged documents. What possible motive could drive anyone to randomly forge documentation of Iraqi uranium procurements?

Someone forged said forged documents.

So it seems. I found what almost looks like a bunch of Freepers -- they actually go research things and pool what they find out. Since their analysis of this mystery quotes liberally [sic] from "investigative reporter Seymour Hersh," it's safe to assume that these guys have no love lost for Bush.

They don't know who forged the documents. Suspects include "a con artist" who was out to make a buck selling manufactured secrets to the CIA; the British; the ever-mysterious Neoconservative hawks, AKA "The Jooz"; Iraqi exiles; the Israelis; a mysterious "someone inside," and so on. In other words, nobody knows, and even the guys who are trying their best to find a conspiracy in all this are coming up empty.

I guess on this one we're all free to pick our spot, somewhere between the guy who thinks OJ really was innocent, and Oliver Stone. It doesn't look like we're ever going to know. My rule on these is not to attribute to malice anything that can be explained by incompetence.
