"Scrubbed meticously clean to remove any evidence of. . . Saddam Hussein's secret new ice cream flavor. "

Exactly. If they were legitimate and innocent, why were they scrubbed clean?

Actually, if we did wrong because there were no WMD, than surely we must make amends by re-installing the Saddam Hussein regime! (sarcasm)

Well, the only reason I'm aware of to assume that they were "scrubbed clean" is if one has ascertained they were bioweapon plants. The failure to find any evidence of biological agents - once you've already concluded that they're bioweapon plants - leads to the assumption that they were scrubbed clean.

Circular argument, anyone?
