Another dodgy dossier?

The market for analogies between Northern Ireland and Iraq is getting crowded. We thought that David Trimble had it cornered, but enter Gerry Adams, indignant at whatever intelligence is in the hands of the Police Service of Northern Ireland that allows them to link the IRA to the Northern Bank robbery:

[Adams:] He [Chief Constable of PSNI] has his opinion. I have my opinion. He may be putting forward his opinion based on intelligence, maybe based on whatever information he has. Is this the same intelligence which started the war in Iraq in search of weapons of mass destruction?

UPDATE: Bank robbery-themed digital laugh of the day.
