is a long story on the supposed weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
There's little that's new here to someone who has been following the
story; what comes across very strongly is the desire from the top to
believe in the WMD, no matter what the evidence was to the contrary.
Dissenting opinions were simply ignored.
"A country was destroyed because of weapons that don't exist!" Baghdad
University's president, Nihad Mohammed al-Rawi, despaired to an AP
reporter.
