UK pressed for uranium evidence

Nuclear weapons inspectors have asked the UK government to provide fresh evidence that Iraq tried to buy uranium from an African country, officials close to the inspectors said on Wednesday.

The request by the International Atomic Energy Agency follows claims by the UK government, repeated on Wednesday, that its information on the purchase of uranium was supported by documents different to those that were later exposed as forgeries.

The IAEA request for more information from the UK is not expected to be met quickly, because of the complex process of information sharing.

UK officials say that the two countries that are the source of the claim that Iraq sought to buy uranium do not want to be identified. Rules governing intelligence sharing stipulate that only the country that is the original source of the information can pass it on.

But the rules allowed to use wrong information, flawed information, old information, and copy-and-paste information.

1. Tony just keeps getting deeper and deeper

He can't stop lying! He told the Tory leader Ian Duncan today that Duncan had access to the same intelligence before the war that he (Blair) had. Duncan called him a liar on the floor of the Commons. The White House already said Bush*s statement was wrong-- :wtf: is Tony talking about? If it is possibly true, he better give it up, and quick. Every day he seems to lie bigger, the Labor party better kick his ass to the curb before Duncan becomes the voice of "moral clarity".

2. Agree

Labour needs a clear cut with Tony, only way to save them. Any way, Labour gets a lot of damage.

Any way Labour forges a coalition with the Liberal Democrats, to avoid a future Tory majority?
