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.
