Secret Evidence

One of the themes of the little propaganda war waged by all the objectively pro dead american soldier types was that there was all this "secret evidence" about all the WMD and all the things Hussein was supposedly hiding during Blix´s inspections process. Now, maybe I´m just forgetting something, but was there one single scrap of this "secret evidence" that has actually materialized? Anything?

And, here we have Tony Blair doing the ultimate backpedal.

Tony Blair appeared yesterday to water down the Government's claim that Iraq tried to import uranium from Africa to build a nuclear bomb.

Mr Blair told the Commons that it was "not beyond the bounds of possibility" that Iraq sought to obtain uranium from Niger recently because it had imported more than 270 tons in the 1980s. And he stood by the claim in the Government's dossier last September even though the White House has distanced itself from it.

It´s not beyond the bounds of possibility that I´ve got a nuclear processing plant in my basement, but it isn´t bloody likely either.

On a related note, Josh Marshall asks how many of the Iraqi defectors were full of it. The answer is obvious - all the ones they were listening to. These guys were taking their lead from a man who hadn´t lived in the country for what, 25 years or more? (Chalabi)
