FBI Is Taking Another Look at Forged Prewar Intelligence - Los Angeles Times:

"The FBI's decision to reopen the investigation reverses the agency's announcement last month that it had finished a two-year inquiry and concluded that the forgeries were part of a moneymaking scheme — and not an effort to manipulate U.S. foreign policy.

Those findings concerned some members of the Senate Intelligence Committee after published reports that the FBI had not interviewed a former Italian spy named Rocco Martino, who was identified as the original source of the documents. The committee had requested the initial investigation.

'This is such a high-profile issue for a lot of reasons, and we think it's important to make sure there aren't lingering questions,' said an aide to Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), vice chairman of the Intelligence Committee. 'There's always a chance that you do a little more investigating and you uncover something you hadn't seen before or you hadn't realized.'"
