Powell's UN speech - what he claimed, what has come about

"...Powell "continually reassured his listeners that this wasn't simply best guessing and estimation; he kept repeating, 'These are things we know,' " says Greg Thielmann, former director of the Office of Analysis of Strategic, Proliferation, and Military Issues in the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. He retired in fall 2002. "That simply wasn't true. ...
