Dang, I should get paid hourly for this

Yeah, tell me about it. My current contract is winding down, and I'm starting to feel guilty about doing writing for nothing. Hey, it's still a cheaper hobby than a lot of others!

My take on it is a lot of things pertaining to Iraq are "sez you, sez me" as far as intelligence sources go. I'm sure you can dig up sources that say everything in the article is bullshit. It could be as simple as saying, "Well, I think Khodada was lying, and the Czechs don't know what they're talking about."

My own personal gut feeling is a scorpion is going to sting by its nature, and I find it implausible that Saddam was as pure as the driven snow in all these various areas. Sure, maybe he decided to scrap all his nasty stuff and activities, and retire like Kodos the Executioner, but I find that scenario a lot more implausible than the idea that we just haven't found all the goods yet.
