"Why the smear campaign against Wilson? Before we try to answer that question, we’ll note that we don’t understand Kevin’s answer. He says the State Department already knew, before Bush’s address, that the famous forged documents were, in fact, forged. “And that's what scared them
,” he says—“the possibility that someone was about to expose the story behind the forged documents. That would have blown the pre-war stories about ‘mushroom clouds’ and nuclear programs sky high, and that's what caused them to wildly overreact to Wilson's otherwise innocuous criticisms.” But we don’t understand that argument. The Brits keep saying—rightly or wrongly, in good faith or bad—that their claim isn’t based on the famous forged documents. If everyone had already known that those documents were a bad joke, we don’t see how that would have stopped Bush from citing the British intelligence."

Wasn't it established within the last couple of weeks or so definitively that the Brits were in fact trying to foist the same bad Niger "intelligence," manufactured in Rome, that Cheney got a woody over?
