Good News/Bad News for the Neocons

Interesting article in the Telegraph.

Good news for the neocons: the source of the fraudulent yellowcake documents may be the French government, which was allegedly using them as a ploy to discredit the push for war - which means that they can be blamed for those documents instead of Italy (one of the "good" countries, i.e. one that contributed troops to the coalition) or Michael Ledeen. In any case, if it is true it would allow the pro-warriors to say that it was the antiwar side (especially those dirt, no-good Frenchies), not the pro-war side, that lies.

The bad news: it appears that the "second source" of the British (you remember, the secret documents supporting the claim that Iraq was seeking yellowcake, the ones that Buysh was referring to when he said the infamous sixteen words about the British learning about the yellowcake, the ones the British could not show us because the people they got it from refused them permission to show us; you know, those documents) may have also come from France. That is, they may be part of the same scam as the famous forgeries.

That is probably only the tip of the iceberg of all.
