Except, the British still believe that the statement was true. The British government has repeated, on many occassions, that it still believes that Iraq was doing exactly what Bush and Blair said it was doing in Africa. Furthermore, Bob, you're much too smart to believe something as dumb as that the world of intelligence is quite as clear as whether Bill Clinton had sex with Monica Lewinsky. The most harsh interpretation fo the facts available is that the Administration honestly made a claim that has now been called into question. Not proven false, just called into question. The most plausible interpretation of the facts available is that the Administration made a claim that is still supported by the preponderance of the evidence. There is _no_ plausible interpretation of the facts which holds that the Adminstration lied or sought to lie. Anyone who argues that is either themselves a liar or a dupe. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
