as for iraq and wmd's...i think they had them, and we knew they had them, because we gave them to them. or gave them the know-how. also, don't forget that saddam gassed the kurds--altho poison gas isn't nuclear, it most definitely has been considered a wmd.

Danzig,
You are correct that the US supplied Saddam with wmd's. They were obsolete as the "shelf life" is limited. They had been dismantled, and Saddam was "bluffing" to the UN inspectors, as he didn't wish to admit "powerlessness".
Yes, he used them against the Kurds. The Kurds had initiated an insurrection on assurances of CIA support. The US "left them out to dry".
Israel took out the only nuclear power plant during the 80's.
There was no "yellow cake" from Niger, no centrifuge tubes.
Now, I'll post an article regarding the need for clarification of treatment of prisoners.
