I know most people have forgotten and the press never reports the many changes in the reason for the war but I found this interesting and slightly sickening.

CIA’s final report: No WMD found in Iraq
Recommends freeing detainees held for weapons knowledge


WASHINGTON - In his final word, the CIA’s top weapons inspector in Iraq said Monday that the hunt for weapons of mass destruction has “gone as far as feasible” and has found nothing, closing an investigation into the purported programs of Saddam Hussein that were used to justify the 2003 invasion.

“After more than 18 months, the WMD investigation and debriefing of the WMD-related detainees has been exhausted,” wrote Charles Duelfer, head of the Iraq Survey Group, in an addendum to the final report he issued last fall.

“As matters now stand, the WMD investigation has gone as far as feasible.”

In 92 pages posted online Monday evening, Duelfer provides a final look at an investigation that occupied over 1,000 military and civilian translators, weapons specialists and other experts at its peak. His latest addenda conclude a roughly 1,500-page report released last fall.

On Monday, Duelfer said there is no purpose in keeping many of the detainees who are in custody because of their knowledge on Iraq’s weapons, although he did not provide any details about the current number. A U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the ultimate decision on their release will be made by the Iraqi authorities.

7. George W. Bush lied about WMD, Richard Cheney lied about WMD,

Colin Powell lied about WMD, Condoleeza Rice lied about WMD, Donald Rumsfeld lied about WMD, Paul Wolfowitz lied about WMD, Richard Perle lied about WMD, John Bolton, Steve Cambone, Douglas Feith they all lied about WMD.

This was an illegal war, part of the failed Bush Doctrine.
