British Intelligence based on Plagiarism
HA HA HA HA!!!!

On a twelve year old report written by an American college student, the British Government gave this report to Powell as current, correct, and did not bother to give credit to Ibraham Al-Marashi, even for the 26 paragraph long verbatim cut and paste job.

One of Britain's intelligence officers is getting paid 50,000 pounds+ a year to press CTRL+C and CTRL+V and lie about the source.

Good Work Britian.

And Props to U.S. intelligence for taking this at face value.


HA HA HA HA HA

How reassuring it is to know the intelligence agencies hoping to prevent terrorist attacks are hard at work. Maybe tomorrow some intelligence from inside sources in elementary school regarding this mysterious bio weapon called "cooties"

The sad thing is that these supposedly "enlightened" democratic regimes resort to the same media manipulation as the countries they are trying to overthrow.

None of that woulda happened, of course, if they'd have hired Ninjas (see Mr. Baggins excellent thread) with REAL Ultimate Power to do their spying for them!

Just for the sake of accuracy the report was written last year, but the sources are twelve years old.

This from the author himself, on CBC Newsworld this morning.

You think intelligence agencies want to give real proof? I think not. That would involve compromising how they got that proof.
