Coming Up Empty - by Gordon Prather

"Scott Ritter, who was a chief UN inspector in Iraq in those years recently had this to say about the Duefler report:

"'One of the tragic ironies of the decision to invade Iraq is that the Iraqi WMD declaration required by security council resolution 1441, submitted by Iraq in December 2002, and summarily rejected by Bush and Blair as repackaged falsehoods, now stands as the most accurate compilation of data yet assembled regarding Iraq's WMD program\s (more so than even Duelfer's ISG report, which contains much unsubstantiated speculation).

"'Saddam Hussein has yet to be contradicted on a single point of substantive fact. Iraq had disarmed; no one wanted to accept that conclusion.'"
