If the reason for going to war is going to become plotting, then I don't think any nation state is going to be immune to regime change. I think the regime in Iraq likely had file cabinets full of plots. Maybe the inspectors were looking for the WMD's in the file cabinets when they found the plots.

The plots thicken. If this wasn't the real world I would suspect it was a bad OTC:BB promotion. If you are a citizen of the United States or Britain, do your own DD.

"What's next? Evidence that Saddam had dreams about WMD?"

Bottom line (from this article):

MR. Kay said he is waiting to build what he called 'a solid case' before revealing what physical evidence may have been found.

"We are finding documents that relate to WMD (weapons of mass destruction) activities, we are having increasing numbers of Iraqis voluntarily stepping forward to help and assist in our effort," he said. "That is moving the operation further and faster than I would have said five weeks ago that it would be at this stage."

Mr. Kay, who just returned from a visit to Iraq, said his team is focusing initially on biological weapons and the role that Iraqi intelligence and security services played in the country's suspected weapons of mass destruction program.

He said he is learning about the lengths to which the former government of Saddam Hussein went to hide its suspected weapons program.

"We have found new evidence of how they successfully misled inspections of the U.N., and hid stuff continuously from them," he explained. "The active deception program is truly amazing once you get inside it. We have people who have participated in deceiving U.N. inspectors, now telling us how they did it."

Wonder why you didn't quote the whole thought??? Hiding something, eh?

Although he called for patience, he predicted that doubters were in for a "surprise" by the time his work was done.

His 1,400-strong team of American, British and Australian experts scouring Iraq has not yet found actual biological or chemical weapons, Mr Kay told private Senate hearings in Washington. But there was mounting evidence of an active WMD programme, he said.


I believe the key word will be: active
