WTF Is It Now?!?

“It would be wrong for you to tell America's children that some lies are all right. It would be wrong to show the rest of the world that some of our laws don't really matter.” - Steve Chabot (R-Ohio), 1999.


Australian expert to expose Iraqi weapons 'exaggeration'
A former Australian defence analyst who resigned in March claiming the government was exaggerating the Iraqi threat is to appear before British MPs investigating intelligence on Baghdad's weapons program.

Andrew Wilkie argued that intelligence available to Australia suggested Iraq did not pose a serious threat to the United States and its allies. He also claimed the war would only fuel terrorist fervour for more attacks on the West.

Wilkie told The Sydney Morning Herald he would expose the government's "exaggeration" of intelligence on WMDs and "concoction" of links between former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and terrorists in his appearance at the inquiry.

"The claim was obviously false. There is no doubt that Iraq did have weapons at one time and something will eventually be found and dressed up as justification, but it won't be anything of the magnitude we were led to believe," Wilkie said (link).
