Yeah, that's the key statement as far as the Slimes intent. Nevertheless, it still is an admittance of WMD though it's source is only the one Iraqi official, Sami al-Araji, deputy minister of industry.

Yes, the article does go into an anti-Bush rant (again) but what is the one thing that people read?  The headline and most won't bother to read the rest ... especially those who hate Bush and it looks like it praises him or in any way makes him look good.

They pulled the stuff they wanted out before the invasion and shipped it off to Syria.
