You don't think that the administration would have figured this out if it were in fact being blackmailed with a WMD threat as some on this thread think? And if this is was the case I don't think you would see too many people, at least high profile politicans, hanging around Washingtion DC like the are. The fact that Bush & Company are there and it is busy like usual should clue you in as to the validity of this way out speculation.
