Now I was a supporter of the Iraqi action, but I think I would be disappointed if this turned out to be true and the admnistration didn't make a serious effort to pursue this avenue. I agree that Saddam had already screwed things up by expelling the weapons inspectors, but I think that we should hold ourselves to a higher standard... Our stated reason for regime change was primarily Iraqi WMD. If there was a possibility that we could have peacefully ascertained that there were or were not WMDs I'd like to think that it would have been pursued. Back-channel negotiations are nothing new - the article even points that out.
