It certainly appears that Rawstory is trying to get Cheney to blame for this story with statements like:
Cheney hand seen behind leaks of 'misleading' stories,
However, the problem is that the UN posted the translation on it's own website, something that Cheney doesn't have control over. Plus, the UN translator had no problem translating the world "nuclear" across the document many times, but the ONE time that it really counts, they want to discredit them?
Something is WAY fishy over there and I have several problems with this story. For example:
The UN has since gone through the tape recordings of the meeting and found that there was no mention of the word “nuclear” at all. According to the UN, the error was one of translation, involving several interpreters translating the same meeting.
However, if you read the redacted article, the word "nuclear" is mentioned almost 150 times, including under the section "Statements".
There is some massive bullshit going on here and I think it's on the UN's part.
US intelligence “found no radiation signatures after the bombing, so there was no uranium or plutonium present,” said one official, wishing to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the subject.
Just because there's no nuclear material doesn't mean it wasn't a nuclear reactor in the process of being built, or any other nuclear plant's support buildings.
“We don't have any independent intelligence that it was a nuclear facility -- only the assertions by the Israelis and some ambiguous satellite photography from them that shows a building, which the Syrians admitted was a military facility.”
Well if they admit it was a military facility, why won't they allow people to come in to see the wreckage? Why won't they explain further what the building was being used or used to be used for? Why don't they complain to the UN about their "sovereignty"? Why all the secretiveness? Syria being quiet about an Israeli airstrike with them having nothing to hide is ludicrous. There was something going on in that building that Syria doesn't want people to know about.
