The implicit point of this passage is this: that the sales pitches were delivered by US government employees and their "friends". If MI6 wasn't aware of their background before accepting their analysis... [!]

The Feiths... Perles... Chalabis, were *NOT* unknown entities to MI6.

They WERE unknown entities to the public... ya' know... the folks who were "played"... and the scam goes on. The lying and disingenuity never stops...

MI6 had to know the info was unreliable, single sourced , and most likely bogus.
