but some days the White House - or Defense or State - wants to make a point so badly that it is tempted to stretch the truth or even (here comes the dangerous part) to make it up. This happened in the cold war, and it could happen again in the war on terror if we are not careful. I think Pat Holt may have missed a few stories....Iraq is 6 months away from having a nuclear weapon according to a UN IAEA report....so said Bush, though it wasn't true....The US led the UN to believe that it had solid proof that Iraq had WMD.....when called on to provide such proof after the UN resolution...it was: Proof? Like a smoking gun proof? That's not what we meant by proof...we meant...We know they have WMD...intelligence is an "art", not a "science". We don't have proof like the good ol' days of the Cuban Missile Crisis. ------- A few months after 9/11, Henry Hyde hit the podium, puzzled why a country with the technology of Hollywood had an image problem in some places of the world. He thinks that if we get the packaging "right", all will be well. Good luck Henry. jttmab
