As if we needed any more evidence

Who believes government officials are ever candid about what they believe? Here's an example. A few weeks ago, we get a report claiming that there were no WMD in Iraq. It's written by the US, with full access to all documentation about the search for weapons. We also get Rumsfeld questioning whether there was ever a link between Saddam and Al Qaeda. But going back to a widely commented CNS News article published October 4th 2004, we are told that there were links, and there were weapons, and that they've known this for a while. Some commentators believe this proves the case for war, although with one unconfirmed report in favour and an official US/UN report against, I don't think the balance of evidence supports this, I'd argue that it proves once again that we are being misled, and that whatever the truth is, we are not being told. That's a bad thing, in a democracy, by the way.
