| Who knew what about Uranium? |
| 2003-07-14 |
| The Daily Telegraph reported that "US intelligence sources believe that the most likely source of the MI6 intelligence was the French secret service, the DGSE. Niger is a former French colony and its uranium mines are run by a french company that comes under the control of the French atomic energy commission." The French secret service is believed to have refused to allow MI6 to give the Americans "credible" information showing that Iraq was trying to buy uranium ore from Niger, the Telegraph reported. A third British newspaper, The Guardian, cited government officials saying the nuclear claim came from a "close ally" but one which didn’t want Britain to give it to the US as a further pretext for war. So, French Intelligence knew exactly where Chiraq was speaking from. OTOH, if Chiraq wants to get back into Bush’s good graces, he can go a long way towards that by being honest. |
