There's an amazing misrepresentation in the Washington Post today (Saturday, October 4, 2003). The story reads:
"But hours after Bush spoke, Kay provided a more mixed assessment of his finding. He said his team had turned up "no conclusive proof" that Iraq had tried to buy uranium ore from Niger, a controversial allegation made in Bush's State of the Union address. Kay said that cooperating Iraqi scientists had told his team about an unsolicited offer by another African country to sell uranium to Iraq, but that "there is no evidence," he added, that Iraq accepted the offer. "Of course the relevant sentence in the speech is:
"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. "Bush never said "Niger." And Kay has now found evidence of uranium conversations in Africa.
The Post is very nearly deliberately misrepresenting.
