Iraq's Arsenal of Ambitions
(Washington Post) Iraq's former government engaged in abundant deception about its weapons development ambitions. Interviews among Iraqi weaponeers and investigators from the U.S. and British governments turned up unreported records, facilities, or materials that could have been used in unlawful weapons. But investigators have found no hidden arsenal of old weapons or advanced programs for new ones. The remnants of Iraq's biological, chemical, and missile infrastructures were riven by internal strife, bled by schemes for personal gain, and handicapped by deceit up and down lines of command.
