NYT Sums Up WMD Story So Far
A really good summary, I think, of what’s gone on so far, is this article from the New York Times: In sketchy data, White House sought clues to gauge threat.
One of the things I think this article does well is to honestly present the events as they’ve happened, without skewing the data to promote a certain side’s case. I value that in a media outlet (or a politician).

Great article, in that it points up what I was saying to you in an e-mail just today – why did we rely in any way on five-year-old “intelligence” to tell us what was going on in Iraq in 2003?

Answering my own question: because the administration had already decided to go to war in Iraq, and that’s all they had to go on. Interesting how the dates were never mentioned when the war was being sold to the public.
