== Cases where forged documents were used for propaganda purposes ==<br />
*A number of documents were found purportedly showing that [[George Galloway]], a critic of the war and British MP, had received payments from the Iraqis. Two such document leaks led to libel actions against the ''Christian Science Monitor'' and ''The Telegraph''. In the CSM case it was possible to demonstrate that the documents were forged because the ink used was different than that used in Iraqi official documents. The libel action brought against the Telegraph didn't deal with the authenticity of the documents, but it dealt with the way they had been abused after their "discovery". ''The Telegraph'' lost the libel action.</div>Paul
