British and US intelligence have very intimate ties. They communicate constantly and share information at every conceivable level. Powell and the whole Bush gang sits on top of the most sophisiticated intelligence appartus in the history of the world, with a budget (conservatively estimated) of $60 billion a year. They would know if a British intelligence report was copied from a student's term paper!!
They just don't care at this point, that's all. They have been getting away with this type of shit for decades. They know the American people don't read. They know the American people believe everything they see on TV. They are so used to getting what they want that now they are barely even trying. It's all a very sad and very sick joke.
