Good catch! This, by itself, puts me in the disbeliever camp.

Me too. I'd like to believe it, but it seems a little too pat. I'm sure it was an authentic document, but it may have been authentic disinformation. A Ba'athist plants something backing all of Bush's arguments in his own files, then there's a big brouhaha in the U.S., then the story gets discredited and Bush's credibility takes a hit.

I would guess that the administration is being extremely careful with this one.

I think it's fake too. However, a simpler explanation is that it was created by a well-meaning but none-too-bright Iraqi trying to maintain U.S. support. The Iraqi National Congress tried the same thing prior to the war, but our intel analysts had little trust of the information coming from the IRC.
