OK... So we can't find WMD's... But what about that Uranium you told us about?

The Niger connection: what we know, what we don't know, and what we may never be told

* The 'evidence' that Iraq sought uranium from Niger was crucial in persuading the public of the case for war * Letters suggesting Saddam Hussein was trying to buy uranium for use in a nuclear weapons programme were exposed as forgeries in March * The CIA and State Department were dismissing the Niger connection long before the war started * The White House has - belatedly - admitted it should never have used it * The British Government is still standing by it

Could this be opening a little rift between Bliar and the nice Mr. Bush? (tongue firmly in cheek)

Have a look for yourself
