Marco,

I remember that either theinquirer.net or theregister.com had an article
how British PM Tony Blair's government posted a .doc file on the Iraq
war justification on their official website, and that .doc file showed
that some of the past 9(?) edits, were done by their intelligence and
"spin" organizations.   I did a quick google of both sites for some
keywords, but cannot locate the article...  Perhaps I mis-remember the
source?

Good luck in your hunt,
Mark
