Yep **Marley23** , that’s been the consistent position of MI6 thoughtout this business. The fact of their robustness rather suggests they do have quality information available (at least it does to me). Nonetheless, its The Telegraph’s market rival doing the follow-up reporting (The Times), I’ll be interested to see what The Telegraph itself has to say … Just for information purposes, the other significant issue on which MI6 has found itself at odds with US securiey agencies was on the likely death or not of Saddam - MI6 were very quick to say he left the restaurant 20 minutes before the bomb hit whereas the US have always said Saddam was still inside … I guess time will tell. ---
