well, it looked authentic...

Washington Post article in which the UN discover some of the proof of Iraq's nuclear weapons intentions is forged, and in which an unnamed US official says, "we fell for it". Interestingly, given the tone/bias/orientation/whatever of the article, they maintain the myth that the last UN inspectors were forced out of Iraq. They weren't; they left on the grounds that they weren't getting the cooperation they needed. But they left of their own choice; they weren't made to leave.
