Thanks for the link to those recently declassified national security papers, which I have not studied in depth yet. George Washington really does a great service to scholars with their archives of declassified national security papers. When I saw (last month) that they had been declassified, I did give them a cursory review and satisfied myself that there was no "smoking gun" to support the oft-repeated assertion that "we" gave "them" WMD. I had been casting about looking for a topic for a doctoral thesis in 20th century history, and the strange history of Iraq and ATCC struck me as a potentially fruitful area, especially since ATCC is right down the road, but after reading Judith Miller's reportage, I wonder how much new remains to be said. I still think there's a dissertation in it, especially the role of the veterans' groups "waving the bloody shirt" about Gulf War Syndrome, which appears to have no medically verifiable basis, and that would play into my fascination with conspiranoia and the paranoid style in American politics, but I need to find an advisor. Maybe I should switch to George Washington?
