Since Sadams government no longer exists, doesn't that burden now fall to us?

The question in the article is; did the dminstration deliberately and knowling manipulate information to make a case for war it could not have made otherwise.

GA's argument is valid, and truthfully I think that's how it will play out.

But...

In Watergate and in many other instances, it's the cover-up and nopt the crime that makes the house of cards fall. In investigating how intelligence on Iraq was gathered, evidence and testimony may arise, their may well be a 'smoking gun' in the Pentagon proving that wolfowitz, chenney, et al not only pressured intelligence sources nd culled information, but made attempts to cover their tracks as well.

It's happened before. It may well be happening in Engl;and right now. The question isn't going to go away.
