re: I'm not all that shocked
One of the real problems is no one seems to care who is making these false documents. This seems to be because they are politically useful and give a useful bump in the polls and people don't notice later when they are found to be fakes.
This has the been the whole problem with the war, that people didn't mind fake intelligence when it suited what they wanted to believe. We all have a natural tendency to be less critical of data that fits what we believe, and this is always to be resisted.
