I love this internet thing, it makes it so easy to check out hunches.
when i saw this head line-Author Ron Suskind writes in a new book that the White House ordered the CIA to forge a backdated, hand-written letter from the head of Iraqi intelligence to Saddam Hussein in an effort to create a link between -ect
I rembered the letter and of course Fox news covered it as fact.Terrorist behind September 11 strike was trained by Saddam http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/1449442/Terrorist-behind-September-11-strike-was-trained-by-Saddam.html
so i thought, that you could not fool a real journalist with such fake shit. So this Con Coughlin must be a hack. It looks like i was right.

I am now left with the question, is he another right wing dupe? Or did he suspect the letter was false when he ran the story?
