British Iraq report plagiarized
The late breaking news is that the report used by the Brits to "prove" Iraq's connections to terrorism is plagiarized from a graduate student paper which discussed Iraq in 1991 (not 2002 or 2003). Bad news for Blair and the Bush administration as Colin Powll also has praised the same report as support for the Administration position to pre-emptively attack Iraq.
I always talk to my students about plagiarism - now I have a blatant example of the kinds of issues that can arise!
Read it for yourself:
Britain's intelligence dossier on Iraq was plagiarized from a grad student
Supporting articles are included in the FTW article.

WHAT THE HELL?????????? This is the most ridiculously insane thing I have ever heard in my life. If this is not enough of a clue that Tony Blair along with the Bush administration are total idiots pushing a war for their own interests I don't know what is.
