The Galloway story is interesting in its own right, and deserves some discussion.

Galloway story is indistinguishable from the worst kind of mudslinging. How will the damage be undone if he is never proven guilty?

Having the liberation coincide with the Hussein festival was very convenient for the clerics.

LOL! I had never heard to it refer to as "festival" it is in every way the opposite of festival. And it did not coincide with the liberation. The time for it was way back in early March. Somebody just chose to run a make up parade to show his muscles.

During the war, NPR reported that troops had found missiles filled with mustard gas and sarin. Has anybody seen followup on that story?

I don't recall any substantial story that was not retracted later on. I do remember a couple of stories which said the missiles could carry chemicals and one story I think that said one rocket out of the whole stack showed at some time in the past it had been filled with mustard gas.

I agree with you that getting to the truth takes time. But surely you can see that the Iraqi boogieman did not live up to the hype and that there is no reason why Blix should have been denied the few more weeks which he had asked for.
