Or in short:
"Marashi - the real and unwitting author of much of the document - has as his primary source the documents captured in 1991 for the Iraq Research and Documentation Project.
His own focus is the activities of Iraq's intelligence agencies in Kuwait, Aug90-Jan91 - this is the subject of his thesis.
As a result, the information presented as relevant to how Iraqi agencies are currently engaged with Unmovic is 12 years old. "

PORTIONS OF UK IRAQ DOSSIER USED BY POWELL ARE 12 YEARS OLD!
The US mainstream media is still running the "Terror Alert" as non-stop news. The reason is obvious. The rest of the world now knows that Colin Powell's presentation to the United Nations was based on a fraudulent dossier. Far from being an up-to-date intelligence assessment, the dossier was a patchwork of plagiarized student essays and contained descriptions of Iraq that are 12 years old, describing Iraq as it was at the start of the first Gulf War, not as it is today. That such fraud was in the British Dossier casts doubt on every other piece of material Powell presented to the United Nations. If one piece is fake, might it all be fake? Do you want to start a war by trusting too much?
The administration is terrified that this story will get out to the American people, which is the real reason they have thrown this "Orange Alert", as a distraction and smoke screen for the story of fraud before the United Nations.
It is UP TO YOU to get this story of deception before the eyes of everyone around you, in particular those friends and neighbors who are not getting their news from the internet. You must work quickly. Driven by fear, it appears Bush is going to start the war immediately, possibly as soon as Monday, rather than risk his justification for invasion and conquest unraveling any further.
