The trailers were the only discovery the administration had cited as evidence of an illicit Iraqi weapons program.

Huh? What about the photos of entire Kurdish towns wiped out by Saddam's WMDs? Women and children laying in the streets?

Since when are the "trailers" the only evidence?

That incident was from 1986, before the Gulf War and the bans on Iraq having WMDs. Iraq was an ally then, indeed, immediately after that massacre was awarded weapons contracts and trade credits by the US.

In reference to two trailers full of material that Saddam's men left behind, Kay said, "These documents have extreme value. They relate to the program that the Iraqis used to hide their weapons program from international inspectors over twelve years."

Brokaw described Kay's evidence to his viewers by saying, "This is a mother lode, an estimated seven and a half miles of documents, many of them collected by the U.S. military from official buildings, but many others handed over by Iraqi civilians."
