Blair's dossier last autumn had as one of its key assertions the argument that Iraq had attempted to procure uranium in Africa(my security service friend who will read this eventually makes much of this): The IAEA now asserts this is false. Do we smell the disinformational fingers of the Israelis?

REUTERS: UNITED NATIONS, March 6 (Reuters) - The head of the U.N. nuclear agency is expected on Friday to express doubts over U.S. allegations that Iraq has tried to revive its secret nuclear weapons program, diplomats said on Thursday.

Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, is expected in his report to the U.N. Security Council to undermine Washington's position just as it scrambles for support for a U.N. resolution paving the way for war in Iraq.

Security Council diplomats told Reuters the report would specifically deflate U.S. allegations that Iraq had tried to import significant quantities of uranium from Africa.
