NO agenda at all. The material accurately described what was believed to be the current situation. The thing I find so hilarious about those who run the plagerized material stuff up is that they seem unable to grasp that the ideas presented accurately described the current situation. That the situation had not changed from several years earlier and were described well by some other is a so what. There was no intentional deception planned by Colin Powell or the US government..

Are you implying a media conspiracy to NOT report these things? LOL. You gotta be joking.

I read about the material being plagiarized, so, contrary to what you claim, it was covered. Was it blown into a a ten day front page scandal? No. Here's why. 1. Powell didn't plagiarize it. Someone else may have, but not Powell. 2. Powell didn't know it was plagiarized when he cited it. 3. Had Powell known it was plagiarized, he would have cited the original author instead, without changing the importance of the information. So you see, it was a non-story. There was no impact on the decision process that depended on citing the original author.

Anthrax has an expiration of 3 years. Powell knew. I had the opportunity to speak w/former UN weapons inspector of Iraq named Mr. Ritter. He was with a reputable doctor as well. High probability that our troops are going to be putting out some grossly deformed babies as well. Highly concentrated tips on those "smart bombs". If you have a chance read "All the Shaw's Men" and "Killing Hope" It will give you a good history of what the US did in Iran and what we are capable of. Peace
