Update: Remarkably, the Times‘s Oliver Kamm has resorted to character assassinations of Gareth Porter and Phil Giraldi, as a response. They in turn respond with comments on the Times blog and it descends into a free for all. By the end, it’s still fairly obvious the documents are forged, no matter who’s arguing for what side.
I wondered why this story had dropped off the radar.
