From a supporter of the war:

WMD: What Went Wrong?

KEY QUOTES:

"That so far the United States has found only trace signs of a weapons program -- most notably two trailer-mounted laboratories that could have been used for bioweapons work -- is cause for grave concern. We do not need a frenzy, but we do need coolheaded analysis and a plan of action to get answers now. In this, Congress -- in particular the intelligence committees -- has a critical role to play."

"The first and most urgent task is to figure out why we have not yet found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and redouble our efforts to find them. While Hussein's supporters may no longer control WMD infrastructure, these weapons and the materials to make and deploy them are arguably still to unsavory characters. They might be in the hands of factions in Iraq vying for power, of terrorist groups or of other regimes hostile to the United States and other countries -- leaving the United States and its allies no safer than before the war."

"It appears that the initial war strategy in Iraq did not adequately map out a plan for locating, seizing, securing and examining suspected WMD-related sites. A just-launched Iraq Survey Group appears to have only several hundred inspectors searching for Iraq's WMD. Given the importance of WMD to the war aims, this apparent lack of a strong plan is mystifying and must be explained."

"There have also been questions about the public portrayal of intelligence by senior policymakers. Preliminary reviews indicate that public statements did not always portray the detailed caveats about Iraqi WMD that intelligence reports generally provided. In addition, questions about possible pressure on analysts to alter their judgments and about possible suppression of alternative assessments must be a central part of a thorough and detailed review."
