Part 2 - Politics & Social Issues: Two sides of the WMD debate; 1) Bush supporters claim 'we found the WMD' based on an (old) Pentagon report that 500 1980s-era degraded chemical weapons canisters were found buried in the deserts of Iraq over the last three years; Rick Santorum and Pete Hoekstra think this the straw they've been grasping for, though even the Bush administration doesn't agree; 2) Meanwhile, the Washington Post interviewed a retired CIA employee this weekend who says he argued forcefully that much of the intel provided by our trusted informant 'Curveball' was not reliable; The North Korean threat: What to do and how to react; Reviving a conversation about the $100 billion spent (so far) on a missile defense system that isn't ready for prime time but Bush 'deployed' in 2004 , because he promised he would. | |
