I agree Thrawn that all such documents should be looked and with a critical eye. Did you? Or did you simply assume it was all untrue propaganda simply because it came from a US governement source (just as bad as accepting without question, don't you think?). Isn't it the responsibility of Government to explain the basis for a particular policy?
Read the document and refute it if you can. Most of this is already well documented; the US goverment simply chose to pull it all together in a single source to explain why they feel the Iraqi's are not to be trusted, and why they feel so strongly that Suddam must go. Believe it or not, not every word that comes from a US government source is a lie.
For what it's worth, I was on active duty during the Gulf War, and saw much of this stuff first come out. The point is, the Iraqi regime is very simply evil. Ignore that if you want, but it's a fact proven over and over again. The Iraqi government has taken playing the media to a high art, and this document is the counterpoint. It's an attempt to educate the public on who we're dealing with.
Weazel: I'm not sure Mr. Rove is...sorry. Again, I'll simply suggest you read the document and see if it jives with what has been reported through multiple channels. As news media goes, the US media is one of the least influence by a government in the world. On the other hand, if you comment is directed at the authors of the document, and not the news agencies that carried it, well...again, they're not making this stuff up. They are merely presenting it in a concentrated from to make their point.
