Thank your for the link: I had read the report but read it again in view of the article you posted earlier. The article is completely incorrect to say that after since weeks on the job Duelfer made a major new finding of a nuclear program. There was no "nuclear program" found by Kay and there is nothing in this report to prove there was a nuclear program. The original article is simply very, very bad journalism. The heart of the matter is this: <The new area of focus I have initiated for ISG is that of regime intent.> Kay was leaning in the same direction when he left -- for two reasons. 1) Because he found no weapons, and no programs, and only a handful of "activities" that were ambiguous. 2) Because he believed (correctly) that you can never eliminate the capacity to produce WMDs around the world and so you must focus on intent instead. So we are now living at the level of intentions -- not weapons, not programs, but intentions.

Hi Mike...Re WMD. I've really wondered exactly how the WMD search went on....Especially since the murder of Lori Hacking. Have we realllllly searched every square inch of Iraq for these things? No of course not. Have we even scratched the surface? How does anyone know where anything could be in such a large land space? Look how much time it has taken to try to find her body (2+ weeks, and this is what is says will still be needed.) Can any of us even imagine trying to find anything like WMD in a land mass the size of California???? tv.ksl.com Search for Lori Hacking's body.......... >>>>>>>>The landfill is 550 acres, but the area being searched has been roped off to one section, about the size of two football fields...and near 40 feet deep. Police say it could be weeks, even months before something turns up. <<<<<<<<
