There is enough to generate a dozen conspiracy theories -- and looking at what the US has done so far, and the motivations, one can't dismiss such theories out of hand. The story about WMD which seems most likely to me is that Saddam had them destroyed years ago but kept up the pretense of having them as a deterrence, leading to the secrecy the inspectors found, and ultimately to many supporting the invasion. Would it not be ironic if Bush's secrecy fueled the suspicion and opposition which brings him down?! But there is already a stong case for deception about DU. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
