Reasons Bush and media can't claim they were 'misled'

"I bear personal witness through seven years as a chief weapons inspector in Iraq for the United Nations to both the scope of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs and the effectiveness of the U.N. weapons inspectors in ultimately eliminating them," Ritter explained.

My number one reason why the Bush administration and the "liberal” media should not be given a you-were-duped-pass is because a marginal "out of the intelligence loop" columnist like myself was writing about the lack of WMD in Iraq before the war.

It's amazing what you can discover if you pay attention to what our political and opinion leaders choose to ignore.

el - and a blogger like myself. it was painfully obvious there were no WMDs which anyone with internet access could have found out before the war.
