About Those WMDs

Powerline
    [H]undreds of chemical weapons, at a minimum, were 
secreted in various locations around Iraq--as also shown
by this document (see link below) --and it is reasonable
to conclude that, even though the CIA and nearly all
other observers over-estimated Iraq's WMD capabilities,
the fear that Saddam might use such weapons, or slip them
to a terrorist group, was well-founded.

    Please point out to your readers that Negroponte only 
declassified a few fragments of a much bigger document.
Read the press conference and you will see that Santorum
and Hoekstra were furious at the meager declassification.
They will push for more, and we all must do that. I am
told that there is a lot more in the full document, which
CIA is desperate to protect, since it shows the miserable
job they did looking for WMDs in Iraq.
UPDATE: Glenn Reynolds comments:
    Some future historians will have fun with the CIA's 
bureaucratic turf wars. I just hope that they're writing
in English, and not Arabic . . .
