A frontpage Post piece by Barton Gellman says that the administration is "loosing confidence" in its own intel about where suspected bio or chemical weapons might be. The military is now hoping to rely on "unexpected discoveries and leads." The lack so far of any solid finds could mean that Saddam got rid of the weapons and associated documents. Another possibility, as the Post suggests, is that former Iraqi officials have stolen the stuff, particularly the documents, perhaps to make a few bucks and resell them to whomever. There are signs, said Douglas Feith, the undersecretary of defense for policy, "that some of the looting is actually strategic." Gellman also mentions that there's tension within the Pentagon about where the weapons-hunters should focus. Some officials are also ticked that potentially important sites were left unsecured for days after Baghdad fell. www.slate.com
