(1) Re Al-Qaeda camp: a satellite photo of a forlorn outpost, allegedly linked to Hussein and Al Qaeda and which Powell claims is in the business of producing chemical weapons. However: .....(a) The camp is in the US/UK controlled no-fly zone. Saddam has no control over the area. .....(b) Over the weekend, 20 foreign reporters finally got to visit the camp and found a dilapidated collection of shacks without indoor plumbing or the electrical capacity to produce the weapons in question. .....(c) Later it was revealed that US had this camp under surveillance for months and could have taken it out on one of many recent bombing runs Big deal, one camp. You think the bad guys were going to wait for the reporters? Most of Iraq is a no-fly zone...your argument is a non-sequitur. ) It turned out to be be largely plagiarized from a graduate student paper, grabbed off the Internet from an Israeli publication, that relied on 12-year-old data.
