  now, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!

  perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.

  now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.

  Patio,

  Just thought i'd post that article you mentioned:

  Pentagon Report Found
  'No Reliable Evidence'
  Of Iraq WMD By Andrew Buncombe in Washington
  The Independent - UK
  6-7-3
  

  A report by the Pentagon's intelligence agency concluded last year there was "no reliable evidence" to prove Saddam Hussein had developed chemical weapons - further undermining claims from Washington and London that the Iraqi regime presented a genuine threat to the West. A leaked copy of the report by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) reveals that, despite extensive analysis, experts were unable definitively to conclude Iraq was either stockpiling or producing weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The report's contents will add to the considerable pressure Tony Blair and President George Bush face as their pre-war claims come under intense scrutiny. "There is no reliable information on whether Iraq is producing and stockpiling chemical weapons, or whether Iraq has - or will - establish its chemical warfare agent production facilities," a summary page of the DIA report said. The report does not suggest Iraq did not have WMD. Indeed, it concludes that Iraq "probably" has such stockpiles. But its language is far more circumspect than that of senior Bush administration officials and the President himself, who insisted Iraq not only had large stocks of WMD but it was capable of delivering them in weapons. On 19 September, for instance, Donald Rumsfeld, the US Defence Secretary, told Congress that Iraq had "amassed large, clandestine stockpiles of chemical weapons, including VX, sarin and mustard gas". Last summer, speaking to the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, Mr Rumsfeld was more explicit. "They have them, and they continue to develop them, and they have weaponised chemical weapons," he said. "They've had an active programme to develop nuclear weapons. It's clear they are a tively developing biological weapons." The DIA report, entitled Iraq: Key Weapons Facilities - An Operational Support Study, suggests Iraq had developed biological weapons, though it made clear experts were uncertain of the nature of those weapons or how many had been developed. "Iraq is assessed to possess biological agent stockpiles that may be weaponised and ready for use,'' it said. "The size of those stockpiles is uncertain and is subject to debate. The nature and condition of those stockpiles are unknown." Yesterday, Vice-Admiral Lowell Jacoby, the DIA director, said the summary page - "a single sentence" - ought not to be interpreted that the DIA "doubted the existence of the WMD programme". However, he confirmed the DIA had no hard information on weapons, stockpiles or locations. Analysts were quick to jump on the summary report, obtained by Bloomberg News, as evidence the US and Britain had overstated the case in regard to Iraq's weapons capability.Jonathan Tucker, a former UN weapons inspector and senior research fellow at the US Institute for Peace, said: "The DIA report suggests that before the Iraq war, the US intelligence community did not have hard evidence that Saddam Hussein possessed large stocks of chemical and biological warfare agents that posed an imminent threat to US national security." Two months after fighting in Iraq ended, US and British troops have failed to uncover any conclusive proof that Saddam had developed or stock-piled WMD. Congress is currently reviewing the pre-war intelligence and the CIA has ordered its own internal review. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/story.jsp?story=413164

  I have never answered a post you've made but your arrogance is overwhelming this time.

  Most people on this board are not here to be witnessed too. They KNOW that the Watchtower is just another corrupt religion and if you can't see that then maybe your the one that needs witnessing to.

  Something you may want to consider:

  AL QEADA SUSPECTS WALK FREE.

  A Dutch court cleared 12 men yesterday of plotting a 'Holy War' against the west. The man had been accused of helping to recruit Al Quaeda and Taliban fighters in the Netherlands.

  But the Rotterdam district court said that there was no evidence to convict them.

  The prosecutions case was hit during the three-and-a-half week trial when judges ruled evidence provided by the Dutch secret service inadmissable because it was uncorroborated. Intelligence officers called to testify during the trial had refused to elaborate on the information or disclose sources. The court issued a rebuke to prosecutors, accusing them of mistakes and carelessness.

  The four Algerians, a Frenchman, a Libyan, an Iraqi, an Egyptian, a Turk, a Mauritian and a Dutch citizen were arrested last year in raids across the Netherlands after their phones were tapped. Police seized video's and books from their homes.

  The men- who faced sentances of up to three years in jail- were jubilant after the verdict, smiling and waving at friends in the public gallery. It was the second big case lost by Dutch public prosecutors pursuing Al Quaeda-linked charges in the past six months.

  _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  If these men were let off because there was NO evidence, then how many of the hostages in Guantanamo Bay would have to be released for the same reason?

  If the Americans had sufficient evidence to convict these people then surely they would try them and make a public display of convicting them.

  Last Updated: Thursday, 5 June, 2003, 15:10 GMT 16:10 UK E-mail this to a friend Printable version Bush vows to find Iraqi weapons Controversy over Iraq's alleged WMD rages on President George Bush has dismissed doubts about the existence of Saddam Hussein's alleged chemical and biological arsenal. In a speech to US troops in the Gulf Emirate of Qatar, Mr Bush promised to "reveal the truth" about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD). His comments come as controversy continues to mount about how imminent a threat the Saddam Hussein regime posed before it was ousted by US-led forces. A well-informed source close to British intelligence has told the BBC that drafts of last September's UK dossier on Iraq's WMD were sent back to intelligence agencies repeatedly with a request for changes. Evidence has been distorted and the public has really been misled on issues that helped inform the decision about war and peace Greg Thielman Former US intelligence official And a senior former US intelligence official has suggested that evidence against Iraq was distorted in order to justify the attack. The British intelligence source told BBC diplomatic correspondent Barnaby Mason that Downing Street sent the draft dossier on WMD back to the Joint Intelligence Committee six or eight times with a request that the language should be strengthened. In response, Downing Street said no pressure had been put on the intelligence services to change the document. UK Prime Minister Tony Blair told parliament on Wednesday that no minister, official or member of his staff had tried to override the judgements of the intelligence agencies. The Pentagon has also strongly denied suggestions that it slanted intelligence findings about the Iraqi arsenal. Both the British parliament and the US Congress are to investigate possible abuse of intelligence information in the run-up to the war. "Saddam Hussein's got a big country in which to hide them. Well, we'll look," President Bush said on the last stop in a hectic overseas tour which took him to Europe and the Middle East. New inspections The first of 1,400 experts ordered to Iraq to continue the search arrived in Baghdad on Wednesday night. In his speech, Mr Bush highlighted the fact that two mobile laboratories had been found and that the search for WMD was continuing. The chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix returned to the UN Security Council on Thursday to present what may be his final report before retiring at the end of this month. He said Iraq had left "many unanswered questions" about its unconventional weapons, but this did not mean such dangerous arms still existed. Mr Blix said it was "not justified to jump to the conclusion that something exists just because it is unaccounted for." Experts from the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, are on their way to Iraq to inspect the country's largest nuclear complex following post-war looting, to determine what may be missing from it. 'Distorted' Greg Thielman, who was until September 2002 a top official in charge of non-proliferation and strategic affairs in the US state department's intelligence bureau, has expressed doubt over the objectivity of the US evidence presented to the world. "Evidence has been distorted and the public has really been misled on issues that helped inform the decision about war and peace," he told the BBC's Today programme. "Our office had the responsibility of looking at intelligence from all sources that were available to the US Government and from all agencies," he said. WERE WE MISLED OVER WMD? I supported the war, with or without the discovery of WMD, but if there are questions of deception then there must be an inquiry - democracies must remain open Shawn Hampton, Oregon, US Have your say "The way that some of the other parts of the intelligence community like the CIA packaged information and presented it to its superiors did not seem to always be the most objective." Senior intelligence officials quoted by the Washington Post said Vice-President Dick Cheney and his most senior aide made several trips to the CIA over the past year to question analysts studying Iraq's weapons programmes and alleged links to al-Qaeda. This put some analysts under pressure to make their assessments fit with the Bush administration's policy objectives, according to senior intelligence officials. The visits "sent signals, intended or otherwise, that a certain output was desired from here," one senior agency official said.

  1400 new 'specialists' have been flown into Iraq to search for WMD.

  GW bush is shortly going to visit Iraq.

  Whats the betting that suddenly, just before or on the day, that Bush arrives in Iraq, he will be able to congratulate the 'specialists' upon finding the missing WMD?

  Am I being cynical? Hell yes, but would you bet against it?

  Toulouse officials ordered murder, says serial killer
  
  Paul Webster
  Tuesday June 3, 2003
  The Guardian France's most notorious serial killer has claimed that he murdered at least one victim on the orders of highly placed personalities in Toulouse because of a blackmail threat linked to sadomasochistic orgies involving politicians, judges and police.

  Dominique Baudis, the city's former mayor and current head of the Conseil Supérieur de l'Audiovisuel, an independent broadcasting watchdog, said through a lawyer yesterday that he was among four people named by the murderer, Patrice Alègre, who is serving a life sentence for five killings, involving extreme cruelty, and six rapes.

  Mr Baudis's lawyer, Francis Szpiner, dismissed Alègre's claim that the former mayor took part in orgies and "was involved in the organisation of a murder".

  But his client, a former television presenter and newsreader, wanted to be interrogated so that he could "regain his honour", claiming that he was a victim of a political conspiracy.

  The affair is linked to evidence uncovered during the past two years by a special homicide squad investigating the disappearance of 115 women and girls in the Toulouse region over 12 years. Most were girls who had run away from home.

  Suspicion that Alègre had committed crimes other than those for which he was jailed in 1997 led to an inquiry by examining magistrates into "acts of torture and barbarity, pimping and rapes of under-age girls" that could lead to a number of prosecutions.

  Magistrates, politicians, policemen, journalists and businessmen are due to be questioned as part of the inquiry.

  Among the fallout from the affair in France's fourth biggest city was the sacking last week of Jean Volff, the prosecutor-general. He was one of a number of court officials in Toulouse who have been forced to explain their alleged knowledge of the affair.

  One judge has admitted to drinking with Alègre and another has said that there was "some truth" in evidence from two former prostitutes of an official cover-up of Alègre's crimes.

  Alègre, a policeman's son, organised the city's prostitution business, providing under-age girls for sadomasochistic orgies at a courthouse in the city and at a chateau owned by the town council.

  In a letter from his cell sent to TV presenter Karl Zero at the weekend, Alègre said that the former prostitutes, known as Patricia and Fanny, were telling the truth about the murders of two other prostitutes which they had witnessed but which he had previously denied.

  One of the dead women had been strangled by him and thrown into a lake for refusing to join in orgies. He had strangled the other while raping her in a hotel in the city centre because she wanted to report the killing.

  A vice squad detective allegedly assured Alègre, who worked in the police canteen, that the murder would be classified as suicide.

  In his letter, Alègre also admitted killing Claude Martinez, a male prostitute, who filmed orgies with a hidden camera and wanted to blackmail those who had taken part.

  Alègre said that during a meeting in a mansion in Toulouse he had been ordered to "shut up Martinez" by "people who might have been filmed" during group sex in which "everyone sniffed coke as hard as they could".

  "I can imagine that the affair will be stifled because all the people implicated in the case are people with power," he wrote in the letter after naming Mr Baudis.

  The letter was written after Alègre met a magistrate to give details of unsolved crimes. Only part of the four-page document has been published but, according to a source who has read all of it, Alègre's confession "contains precise details about the places, situations and personalities involved in the orgies".
