That's an interesting article. If it's true in all it's particulars, it certainly takes a small amount of the force out of some of the arguments about whether the Bush administration what dishonest or incompetent in handling intelligence data. That sounds a lot harsher than I mean it. Let's rephrase it as: whether the Bush administration deceived or was decieved. In any case, a couple, or even a couple hundred aging mortar rounds, while putting Iraq in violation of 1441, probably doesn't constitute <i>causus belli</i>.
That said, if, after this article has been kicking around a while, and spun and counterspun and analyzed to death, if it stays credible, it will be harder to argue that there were no WMDs in Iraq (to speak of).
