Iranian "terror" plot = yellowcake uranium
http://www.thespeciousreport.com/2003_uraniumscam.html

The alleged communication detailing a uranium deal between Niger and Iraq has been published by a newspaper in Rome.

For more than a week, the Bush administration has been trying to explain how the President could have used the claim, that Saddam Hussein was trying to obtain nuclear material from Africa, as justification for war in his State of the Union speech.

The U.S. government still considers this document to be classified and discussion about it is taking place behind closed doors. But individuals who have seen the document say "anyone with half a brain" would come to the quick conclusion that it is flawed evidence.

The text of the published document is as follows:

1. The "Curveball" analogy is the one that keeps coming back
to me, in more ways. The reliance here on the credibility of this one, by all reports, very personally and mentally disorganized guy.

Sensational allegations from an unknown informant justify talk of war in the Middle East. Sound familiar?

Are the Iranian terror charges a Mexican “Curveball”?

Yet the government’s sensational charges depend largely on one unknown informant’s credibility, a situation reminiscent of the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. Then the uncorroborated claims of one anonymous source, known as “Curveball,” proved to be influential in justifying war. They were also completely fabricated.
