In one of Mel's tv interviews after the release of Passion he made a joke regarding WMD's.
I can't exactly remember how it went...but I was left with the impression that he felt let down by the fact we were all assured the wmds were there - and a sound reason for war.
Mel asked Diane Sawyer where the one place in the world no one would be able to find him was. She asked where, and he replied, "Right next to the weapons of mass destruction!"
