Where Are the WMDs? (Reprise)

Newsweek's lead political story asks, finally, "Where are Iraq's WMDs?" Nowhere is the answer, so far. Bush says the weapons of mass destruction have been found, but all he's got is a few mobile labs without even residue in them. The intelligence community complains it was pressured, but the political bigwigs reply they just wanted "analysis" of the intelligence data. Probably a contradiction in terms. So the Pentagon's top policy adviser held a rare press briefing Wednesday to try to rebut accusations that senior civilian policy makers had politicized intelligence to fit their hawkish views on Iraq and to justify war on Saddam Hussein. Somebody's lying here.
