Who Lied?

Based on a recently declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, coalition forces in Iraq have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions containing degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent.

Apparently, weapons of mass destruction have indeed been discovered since 2003, and more weapons are believed to exist. This is particularly interesting since the general, media-fed impression after a 16-month search conducted by the Iraq Survey Group was that the evidence of continuing research and development of Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction was insignificant.

Senate Republicans are now working on the declassification of the entire report. I, for one, am looking forward to the particularly intricate contortions that would need to be performed by some prominent political obtusionists should these findings be corroborated further...
