The Daily Oh Really ...not as "daily" as the name suggests...

Monday, July 07, 2003   Dance of denial Pt N From the SMH Online today: News reports surfaced today that the federal government knew the US State Department had serious doubts about the claims Iraq was developing nuclear weapons....... and Prime Minister John Howard today denied he knew the United States doubted intelligence claims Iraq was developing nuclear weapons. oh, but what about this? According to a former senior State Department official, CIA claims that the Iraqi regime had reconstituted its nuclear weapons program were strongly challenged by the State Department and the US Department of Energy, and this was made known to the Australian Government. A spokesman for Mr Howard said yesterday that there was "nothing new in this story". ... "There was a range of views on nuclear capacity. It remains the case that the intelligence agencies formed a clear judgement that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction capacity."

Hardly, say politicial science Professor Murray Groot and analyst Geoff Kitney - and even at around 50%, as some polls suggested, the level of support for the war was lower than for any other conflict since WWII, even lower than for Vietnam links my daggy homepage pro-peace and/or anti-war: bushwarsblog.com Civil Liberties Watch cursor Dr. Omed's Tent Show Revival - featuring Dr. Omed's Patented Oil of Prosody and the dancing Elders of the Seventh Day Atheist Aztec Baptist Synod emergency protest actions free peace posters iraq body count Labor Council - click on "No War on Iraq" Mike Moore's "operation oily residue" Neal Pollack - includes "make fun of the Cheneys" day (April 1) not in our name - to register dissent Not-So-Private Ryan notes on the atrocities majorbarbara spinsanity column debunking myths and misconceptions about the war stand down Tom Tomorrow Walk against the War Coalition War-mongerer explaining the war in-depth war coverage: the agonist - has been caught plagiarising a commercial news service Kevin Sites warblog - CNN journo.
