It's hard to imagine how any journalist on the war beat could read the article's lead without doing a double take: "Hussein Kamel, the highest-ranking Iraqi official ever to defect from Saddam Hussein's inner circle, told CIA and British intelligence officers and U.N. inspectors in the summer of 1995 that after the Gulf War, Iraq destroyed all its chemical and biological weapons stocks and the missiles to deliver them."

Great, Saddam should have no problem providing documentation as to how they were destroyed. Nor should he be blocking inspectors. The fact that the opposite has happened, along with a clandestine nuclear program only uncovered after a defecter's report, shows that this defector was in all liklihood a red herring, and people are ignoring the Newsweak article because the claims of one defector simply don't fit with the facts.

Great, Saddam should have no problem providing documentation... BINGO!

Gee, the corporate pro-war media is simply suppressing the news. And why hasn't Saddam trumpeted this, if true and finally what has Iraq done since 1995, say like purchase mobile labs from Germany.
