George Galloway wins libel case against Telegraph over Saddam claims

Galloway wins

This will be of only passing interest to American readers. But it reminds me of a question I'd forgotten about - the authenticity of the documents the Telegraph found in an Iraqi ministry is still disputed, but the Christian Science Monitor admits the documents it found are almost certainly forgeries. The question is, who forged them? These were found very early on in the war in an Iraqi ministry - who put them there? UK/US intelligence? Chalabi's lot? Somone was obviously playing pretty dirty tricks in an attempt to discredit prominent anti-war figures. It's also interesting that there has ever been a concerted investigation into who forged the Niger uranium documents; you would think it would be of some import, given the prominence they came to.
