Excellent article: countering the spin

The official search for WMDs in Iraq has ended. The most dangerous weapons we were told to fear two years ago weren’t found. This news is actually not new. Dafna Linzer of Washingtonpost.com reported last week that Charles A. Duelfer, the CIA’s top weapons hunter, submitted a report to Congress four months ago that contradicted [...]
