The problem with most of the report dealing with WMD's is that it is based on interviews, with no paper trail, while the fact of the absence of WMD's is obvious, and tangible. Since people are willing to say almost anything to save their skins, and since the Iraqis KNOW what the US wants to hear, I've been amazed there wasn't more information supporting Bush's stance. Just shows there are limits to how much people will make up even to save their own positions (of course we didn't really torture people- if we had, they would have said anything.)

Informed opinion based on intense investigation is not the same as speculation. BTW, the absence of WMD in the present does not in and of itself prove the absence of WMD in the recent past as a "fact". Removal to another country or covert destruction in the recent past would also account for the current absence.
