Bandwagon or Slow Awakening?
It's rather curious, but as of this writing, much of the news reports from Google regarding WMD evidence falls either in one of two camps: either the Bush administration defending their evidence and everyone else questioning it. The sole exception seemed to be a Fox News article which suggested that the evidence was forthcoming. Had that article not been from a purveyor of blatantly jingoistic reporting, it may have carried more weight.

- CIA to Give Congress Documents on Iraq Intelligence
- Bush promises to reveal Saddam's deadly arsenal
- Bush administration says Iraq had weapons of mass destruction
- We Used To Impeach Liars
- Getting a better view of the world
- Prewar claims not confirmed in Iraq
- Retired government analyst alleges distortion
- Bush waged war then tries to justify it

- Powell, Rice defend US intelligence on Iraq

"They did not have patience for that (prolonged U.N. inspections)," Blix said in a telephone interview broadcast Friday on Colombian radio.
"However, of course what I notice now is that when the American inspectors do not find anything, then it is suggested we should have patience."

Resolution 687 (from 1991, the cease-fire agreement) said that it was Iraq's responsibility to prove that it had no weapons. It can only do that by fully cooperating, because any lack of cooperating means they could be hiding s
