The CIA's search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq has found no evidence that former president Saddam Hussein tried to transfer chemical or biological technology or weapons to terrorists, according to a military and intelligence expert.

Anthony Cordesman, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, provided new details about the weapons search and Iraqi insurgency in a report released Friday. It was based on briefings over the past two weeks in Iraq from David Kay, the CIA representative who is directing the search for unconventional weapons in Iraq; L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. civil administrator there; and military officials.

They do have that hint of scandal though.
Gotta give 'em that.

There's more than a hint of scandal. I think the whole house of cards is going to be coming down soon. Valerie Plame having her CIA cover blown by a "Senior Administration Official", the WMD fiasco, the 9/11 reports, the Saudi connenction...can't wait till the campaigns really start. No wonder Bush is so nervously raising more money than God for the election.

I've always wondered how much money God has. And how he stacks up against Bill Gates. Or the devil for that matter. Funny though, you never see the devil and Bill in the same place at the same time...

Back on topic, Dubya is probably safe for now, there have been plenty of issues that would have warranted a special prosecutor if that law was still active, or if there was a Democratic majority in Congress but with the current set up and outside of some major smoking gun, all investigations will have to be done after the fact.
