RANT WARNING
Yes, the brain dead are among us and as such, we have to re-educate them to a 2+2=4 system. The very brain dead, confused, and clearly misguided followers of such pond scum as Neo-Nazi Barbie, Narco Slob, and other like luminaries keep confusing fact with talking points.
See, they did not get talking points on DSM, so they are dumbfounded by the facts, cooing, gasping, and grasping like crack addicts. So for the ethically challenged among us, or the value of hate/kill/rape crowd, and mostly the lonely peeping conservators who spank the keyboard daily to feel like they have a life... for those moronic twits who need to be told over and over that truth has nothing to do with patriotism... ONE more time:
Mick Smith did not DESTROY the originals. Since I am the one who reported on the handling of the documents, I think I can safely say that unless the entire British government, European press, MSM, several high level sources on both sides of the ocean, and Blair himself have all fallen into a vortex, a vat even of koolade... there is no doubt, none, zero, and the big 0 that these documents are authentic.
Again, repeat over and over till brain cells compute:
Blair - yes
Butler Commission - yes
British officials/Straw - yes
Entire foreign press - yes
Think tanks galore - yes
Journalists in the US - yes
Academics on both sides of the ocean - yes
Alternative press - yes
Okay... do we understand that now? Even Woolsey and Rice did not deny the authenticity, instead they attempted to conjugate "fix" a half dozen times to make is sound like "plan wisely Le British way".
Short answer, read this:

It explains how, why, and when. Also, I added a few examples you can visit. If all else fails, feel free to look up Rice, Blair, etc. quotes regarding said documents.
Now, anyone still left with a brain leak after this is just really that stupid.
End of rant
sorry but I had to scream this ... thanks for letting me vent (runs away). [2]
