Well, it's not going to be more of a disaster even if Saddam wasn't responsible for Halabja. Bush has already taken all that criticism about the existence of WoMD, and this won't hurt him any more than that. Blair, though, is walking a tightrope.

To me, the fallback position justifying the invasion of Iraq was Saddam's human rights abuses. All of them. It doesn't make much difference if Halabja was the work of his murderers or not. But I'll bet the high mucky-mucks in the CIA don't want all their info to be called.

Saddam must know he's dead meat already, unless he's REALLY delusional; he's just taking the opportunity to try and make his captors look ridiculous.
