Reminds me of the Nayirah testimony, in that stories have high risk to be manufactured if it plays perfectly into the narrative of an political interest.

Cause I have to much karma points I'll also mention this also happened during the Nuremberg trials.

Really ridiculous stories taken as fact at the time and people still believe even though historians now discount.

We keep getting played.

This never really stopped happening. If you want to read intelligence to support viewpoint X, you can always find someone willing to say X.
