Observer spills the beans on a poor piece of lying

Powell adverted to a "fine paper" during his show and tell before the Security Council. This "fine paper" was supposed to be the British proof and evidence that Iraq was in violation of Security Council resolutions. Ah, you thought to yourselves, thank God for MI5 and Echelon and all the spying they do on us and on foreigners, the massive intelligence apparatus has gained something. Think again! Blair's spin-doctor, a Private Secretary and some interns plagiarised a 12-year old thesis published by an Iraqi in an American university.

Move along citizens, nothing to see, move along.
