Burying the Lede Indeed

By Cori Dauber

Tapes of Saddam and his staff prove that they were busy deceiving the UN, and AP goes with "Saddam Warned US of Terrorism." But even that isn't the real sin here. That Iraq was running rings around the UN is hardly news. What shouldn't be news (but is, since every time it should be reported it's buried) gets pushed to the last paragraphs:
    Charles Duelfer, who led the official U.S. search for 
weapons of mass destruction, told ABC News the tapes show
extensive deception but don't prove that weapons were
still hidden in Iraq at the time of the U.S.-led war in
2003.
    "What they do is support the conclusion in the report 
which we made in the last couple of years, that the
regime had the intention of building and rebuilding
weapons of mass destruction, when circumstances
permitted," he said.
The point is that he was making sure that he could start everything up again the moment the sanctions were raised (and doing everything he could, via the corruption of Oil for Food, to ensure that would be any moment.)
