Mr. Hannity: "[Saddam Hussein] was capable of using WMDs [weapons of mass destruction] against America ...our invasion was a beneficial thing." (p. 17)

My response: After more than five years of intense searching by US weapons experts, it has become evident that, as the regime of Saddam Hussein itself insisted, Iraq did not create a single weapon of mass destruction later than 1991.

The Bush administration keeps touting the line that the problems in Iraq - the failure to find WMDs, the failure to prepare for an insurgency, etc. - are the result of a massive intelligence failure. Turns out, unsurprisingly, the only intelligence failure occurred on the part of George W. Bush and his cronies in the White House.

In today's Washington Post, Walter Pincus, one of the best reporters working today and one of the few bright lights there, reveals some interesting details about those "intelligence failures."
