Talk:2004 Iraq document leak

message: Isn't there now a lot of doubt on the veracity of these due to the report that these are:
     "typed copies of six recently obtained internal British government documents"
It's the CBS-Memogate all over again, unless they release images of the REAL documents.  From what I've read elsewhere, there's some hooey about how the reporter(s) destroyed the original images??

replies: text: Yes, I have read that the reporter supposedly destroyed the originals due to concern for his source; however I believe a senior :british official has confirmed their validity.--Crucible Guardian 20:00, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy over "typed copies" 

message: High-ranking current and former members of both in the British and U.S. governments have reportedly confirmed the memo's authenticity. []
A senior British official who spoke on condition of anonymity reviewed the copies and said their content appeared authentic.[]
Note that Bush instantly challenged the veracity of the supposed military documents on CBS's ill-fated "scoop"; Blair, by contrast, has had weeks to issue a denial about the veracity of these reports, and has chosen not to do so.  BrandonYusufToropov 14:27, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: But if the leak is in the foreign media does denying their existance draw attention to them? The British state has a policy of not confirming or denying anything intelligence/security based. I'm not sure what the normal protocol is for leaks. Secretlondon 16:53, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  This doesn't seem to have made any of the UK media - the news is that the actual docs have been leaked. Previously the telegraph has published stuff *about* them and has claimed to have seen them.  is the BBC saying that US bloggers are trying to get the US media to take note - the links on that page show that the BBC hasn't written about the new memos itself...
