There have been too many public revelations of 'falsified information' (esp.from the UK) for any claim in the future to be taken seriously. (Most notable was the 'Fake Nuclear document' See: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...-2003Mar7.html and Britains 'thesis plagiarism' scandal.)
The only way that the outside world will believe that SH does indeed have WMD's is if they are actually used on the battlefield. And that is definately *NOT* the way that I'd like the US to prove their case.

I don't see how you can say the UK falsifies information, and support it with a link that claims Iraqi informants supplied false information
All nations that have been involved with this affair have provided evidence that supports their claim. Imagine a trial where the defence supplied evidence of the defendants guilt !
Besides the program was not a government sponsored one, I know it undoubtedly had a bias, but I don't think it was following political guidance.
Besides the program never mentioned WoMD or that as a reason for going to war..it was claiming oil and oil control were the reasons.
