leaked us intelligence documents has case further doubt on coalition claims that iraq had banned weapons which would serve as justification for war.
pentagon report dated sept. 2002 concluded there was 'no reliable information' that iraq had biological or chemical weapons.
it is thought that the report was widely circulate amongst the administration when officials were drawing the case for military action.

if this is true i would be angry - for the lies to the public, for the lies to the un and the security council, and for the torrents of abuse and vitriol spouted toward the french and german governments for standing up for what might appear to be a more justifiable and reasonable course of action with regard weapons in iraq.
i would want independent inspectors in iraq to verify any finds, far too much has already been media leaked before testing has been carried out. anything that is found should be free from accusations of bias and planting.
