>>Re: "Basically, most of the world was looking into a fog, and all the intelligence agencies, including our own, knew that."

One wonders what this means. So all the intelligence agencies were seeing clearly, and were not in a fog, eh? Interesting isn't it then, that they all believed Saddam surely had WMD's?<<

Dan -

No, that's not what I meant. In rereading my sentence, I can see how it was unclear. But perhaps tt would have been clearer if you had paid more attention to the rest of the post.

What I meant was that the world's intelligence agencies knew that they didn't have good information one way or the other. They were all looking into a fog. That includes our own, which is why all their reports were so full of, as I said before, "caveats and equivocations".
