What we know is that Iraq's weapons programs were rather ephemeral and anemic. That's what the documentation from the Iraq Survey Group tells us. What else these scientists have been doing over the past ten years is irrelevant. The point is they weren't actively engaged in weapons research and development. Perhaps some were delivering pizzas or pimping on the streets of Tikrit. Who cares?

As usual, you assert that what you don't know about something implies something different about what we do know about something. We see this same pattern of behavior in the cydonuts who interpret their lack of knwoledge about planetary science into a government cover-up.
