My reference to wmd, Karen, was a generic one. I see your question. I'm simply referring to the line we've all heard an infinite number of times, that the Bush administration claimed we should invade Iraq because of the wmds. None were found; no threat there. Perhaps one could quibble with the "none." But it's very clear "none" is the right term when accounting for the threat. But the point that interests me is that the Wilson/Plame business was a direct attempt to suppress those criticisms and to keep more inside information from leaking out, the kinds of information that would let the taxpayers see just how much the Bush folk "fixed" the intelligence and then blamed the CIA for that "fixing." On that score, I have little doubt it will all come out. Too many interested parties, too many angry parties, too many Pulitzer's to be won. The next President is likely to have a cakewalk with the press. They'll all be preoccupied with writing about the most recent revelation from some former admin member. The only thing I can think it's comparable to is Watergate. Everyone had a memoir.
