Back in May, I passe…

Back in May, I passed on an article by Jim Lacey at the National Review suggesting that perhaps the reason we might not find WMDs in Iraq because, lacking the money to pay for them and knowing what Saddam did to people who failed, just told the boss they had those weapons, when in fact they didn’t. That article was interesting, but mostly conjecture.

Now comes an article in TIME magazine describing evidence that this might actually have been the case. It’s also possible, based on interviews with former Hussein regime officials, that many WMDs were, in fact, destroyed, out of sight of UN inspectors and without any documentation of their destruction.

Wierd. Yeah, this may still be a widespread ruse planned for a while by Hussein’s guys, but it’s no longer just conjecture. There’s now evidence that this might be the case, although one must certainly consider the source of this evidence; Hussein henchmen who may still be fearful of the long arm of the Ba’ath party.
