In MD's defense, they can be independent and still be biased.
They might also be able to report on the facts instead of their bias. Without seeing the report and researching the sources, it is hard to say.
In any event, I see that there is a strong possibility that Hussein was just bluffing the whole time and that Iraq might not have had WMD's.
If we knew this (unlikely) or let ourselves be convinced he did (more likely) then I will be unhappy that this was the main reason for war.
That is NOT to say however that the war wasn't justified given what a monster he is. Just that the reasons for going should have been different.
