Ok, instead of throwing out accusations of EuroSnobbery, how 'bout addressing my contention that Italian diplomats have no credibility to accuse the French of disseminating the forged documents that the Italians themselves forged?

So lying in order to make the case for war (BushCo) is okay but lying to undermine the case for war is wrong?


In other news, I wonder how big my dick is when measured using the metric system.

Do you have links-because that's the only interesting thing in this thread so far. I would like to see those-I could not find more current updates.

Sorry, but I get my news from radio, not the internet. No links.

(I spend all my internet time on message boards, and use my otherwise-wasted commute time to listen to news on radio).

Nephythys:

Here's an article about an Italian investigation into whether the Italian spy agency was the source of the forged documents (hearings start this week):

http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlates...369408,00.html

Here's another with different details (including that the creation of the forgeries was started by two employees of the Italian spy agency, SISMI, in 2000:

If accurate (I don't read Italian and can't stomach the thought of putting a multi-article investigative series through Babelfish so it is all paraphrased second hand) it doesn't look good for the France did it to undermine selling the war theory. If true that the plan for the forgeries was hatched in 2000 then it must have had different motivations since that was prior to 9/11.

Thanks Alex.....I'll check out the links.

It's a shame that people would rather attack me than look at the issue, but hey, that's all some people have.
