CIA posts website notice seeking Iraq WMD info

12.02.2004

WASHINGTON - The CIA has gone public for information about the still elusive weapons of mass destruction in Iraq by posting a notice on its website offering rewards.

The notice, dated Tuesday, seeks "specific and verifiable information" on the location of stocks of "recently made" chemical or biological weapons, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles or their components under the headline "Iraqi Rewards Programme".

US intelligence agencies have been criticised for prewar estimates that said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when none have been found post-war.

David Kay, who had led the US hunt for banned weapons in Iraq until stepping down last month, said he did not believe that large stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons existed when the United States invaded.

The unspecified rewards were also offered for the location of chemical or biological laboratories and factories; development, production and test sites; and places where such materials were "secretly disposed."

The notice on www.cia.gov says: "The presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq puts at risk the health and safety of all Iraqis. The US Government offers rewards to Iraqis who give specific and verifiable information that helps Iraqis rid their country of these dangerous materials and devices." ...cont'd

4. Indeed.
They'll probably find some stuff, around 10 years old, about as deadly as bad perfume.

5. I know where the WMD are!
They are in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad, north, east, and west somewhat. Right, guys? I'm wondering how fucking stupid people could be, if they still think Rummy has any credibility after uttering this gem...

9. I thought that HAD to be an Onion headline.
Jesus. Why not just take out a personal ad? "Sensitive, caring intelligence organization seeks evidence of bogus claims to love and cherish and trot out before congressional investigations. No fat chicks."

Sigh,

The Plaid Adder
