Gee…now there’s a surprise. ::heavy sarcasm::
A couple of days ago it was announced in the news that the search for WMDs in Iraq was officially ended. Indeed, that the search folded early in December. The search, unsurprisingly, came up empty. The violence in Iraq is cited as one reason for the failed search; ironically, this implies that Bush’s bankrupt nation-building program had a hand in ending the search for the much vaunted WMDs. However, the lack of information, i.e., lack of evidence, should not be discounted. As Chris Dominguez remarks on the LRC blog: “Isn’t this like saying, ‘D.A. withdraws case for lack of evidence; accused will remain imprisoned nonetheless–indefinitely.’ Sentence first! Verdict unnecessary.”
