you won't get banned...you are asking a legitimate question in a civil manner.
I think David Kay gave a really good answer on this today...it seems a lot of the info on WMD was based on reports from his underlings that they were spending their money on his pet weapons programs when they were actually pocketing the cash in some good old fashioned Arab graft...
We took them as seriously as Saddam did...they lied to both of us...

Best news of the day.
It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of lying liberals, except if it would happen to CNN.

I fear this report will simply be used to whitewash all the questions that still remainYou needn't worry. Plenty of opinion molders are worried about Iraq whitewashes.
Do a Google search and you'll see that it's quite popular lately to place the word "whitewash" near the word "Iraq."
Sept 2003, Britain: Another whitewash over Iraq
July, 2003: Parliamentary whitewash of Blairs lies on Iraq falls flat
Aug, 2003 Journalists accuse US of "cynical whitewash" over report into Baghdad Hotel media killings
Aug, 2003 No whitewash on Whitehall
Dec, 2002 White House Whitewash
Dec, 2002, The Whitewash Commission
Jan, 2004Address coated with Teflon whitewash
Google says there are about 17900 results for "whitewash" and "iraq."
I know that it's likely that, in many of the google results, there is a more tenuous relationship between the terms "whitewash" and "Iraq."

Where did the 45 minute claim come fromIt might have come from al-Dabbagh, though maybe he is lying about his having been the liar who spoke with the British.
Iraqi who gave MI6 45-minute claim says it was untrue,David Leigh and Richard Norton-Taylor, Tuesday January 27.

The BBC has been "drenched in disgrace and incompetence". Okay, the BB is Baghdad Bob, so the C is that word you can't say.

Completely unprecedented in the criticism of the BBC Governors' performance... This is exactly the core of the problem - those mandarins were absolutely untouchable by any criticism, and that's how once highly respected British Broadcasting Corporation was transformed into British Bullshit Centre.
Not only the beloved Chairman Gavyn "Mao" Davies should resign, but also the crowd of Lefty propagandists pretending to be stalwarts of independent journalism.

BBC political editor Andrew Marr's reaction to the report was: "In the end what it comes down to is a judgement by Lord Hutton - who he believes, whose motives he trusts most and in that, again and again, he comes down on the side of politicians and officials." What a shilly-shally louse this guy is! The first reaction, when they don't like the result, is to sling dirt on the person in charge... They are real Leninists, aren't they?

Namely, where are the WMD? The Japanese have recently discovered a storage of mustard gas munitions dated at the days of WWII. Mind you, it's the country which was for years under American occupation, which was thoroughly searched by the occupying power and by the Japanese themselves exactly for such things... and yet.
So WMD can be or can be not found. Or be found years later... This doesn't change the simple truth that Saddam Hussein should be gone. There was a UN resolution to this end, if you wish.

Thanks for the link. Above article says they are in denial over the Davies resignation, but the BBC DOES acknowledge it:BBC governors hold crisis talks
|
Davies questioned some of Hutton's findings
|
BBC governors are holding a crisis meeting on Thursday after Lord Hutton's damning verdict led the corporation's chairman to quit. Gavyn Davies resigned after the most serious claims in Andrew Gilligan's BBC's reports were branded "unfounded". But he questioned some of the retired law lord's findings on the death of weapons expert Dr David Kelly. Lord Hutton cleared the government of "sexing up" its Iraq weapons dossier with unreliable intelligence. And he criticised "defective" BBC editorial controls over defence correspondent Andrew Gilligan's broadcasts on the Today programme. |
