Misreporting the Duelfer report, againPublished April 28, 2005The mainstream media is playing another misbegotten round of "gotcha" with President Bush on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. This week, the CIA issued a follow-up to its October 2004 Iraqi Survey Group report, saying its investigations into possible WMD transfers from Iraq to Syria before the war were inconclusive and warranted further investigation. Predictably, the media did not convey that message. Instead, it cherry-picked the findings.

If there was a transfer, you had better believe it would have been "unofficial."
Geez, do these idiot liberals think they'll find some Iraqi official's diary entry somewhere reading, "Transferred WMDs to Syria today. Assad looks great, took us all to lunch."
Don't worry, the LIBS won't stoop any lower than treason.
Doesn't speak too well about our spy-in-the-sky capabilities to spot movements from where 'we knew they were located'.
We don't have an infinite number of spy satalites. Most if not all of them are not in geosynchronous orbit. They can't watch everywhere, all the time. The movement of the satalites relative to the earth is not something we can hide. Foreign countries and terrorists know when the satalites can't see them.
We also use planes and UAVs to suppliment our satalites, but those have a possibility of being detected and shot down.
Spy satalites and UAVs are not supsitutes to human intelligence on the ground, which we lacked.
