two articles on todays developments--now it seems the cia knew the wmd programs had been shut down/dismantled, but they didnt tell anyone.
i dont present this as definitive proof of anything, but as one more index of how things really stand on the matter at hand in this thread.
it seems that the isolation of certain bits of information combined with the effort to pin blame on agencies internal to the state rather than actually accepting it as Individuals----is central to how the administration is choosing to deal with this. that strategy seems to run directly agains the moralizing language of bushworld.
btw--i include a link to an article on the same information that appeared in today's le monde as well--the reason for it is you'll get an sense of the extent to which the ny times is even now softpedalling things if you compare the two--it is in french.

you can find articles concerning blair's now-routine mantra concerning the wmd question in todays guardian....i didnt link them simply because there is no information--more a note about yet another occaision that required blair to defend himself.
