Could this be the "embarrassment" of "allies" that some were worried about concerning the release of these documents?
I'm glad this is all coming out. What will emerge is the efforts of France and Russia to line their own pockets and backstab us....as well as enrich themselves with "Oil"
How perfectly ironic. The critics of the war blamed us for "fighting for oil"...and here, it wasn't the US that fought for oil, but Russia and the Europeans who were willing to shut their eyes to Saddam's tortuous regime as they enriched themselves with oil.

Interesting - but we don't call the Russians our "Allies" - or the French (not that often). Maybe that phraseology signifies that the source is from one of our real Allies. Which is a scary thought. I'd rather think that than believe it was an American feeding them the information (although it's definitely possible - some people will do anything for $$$$$).
