I’m getting a little worried about the current blips coming out of Iraq concerning WMD. I truly think Saddam was, in limited form, producing WMD. The concern I have, however, is that the government announces “finds” before they have confirmed the validity of the data.

So far every “find” has turned out to be pesticides or stuff we already knew about. Of course there are minor retractions, but the damage, as far as public knowledge goes, has already been done.
