The problem was that Iraq did not have any WMD. UN weapons inspectors did not find any before or after the 2003 war. US and […]
[…] this current issue. Much of this was interesting to me. For one thing, NFB has continued doing what Lobster used to do: surveying published material on the intelligence and security services and producing synopses of it. There is a long essay about Lockerbie; and, while I am no expert on this subject, I didn’t […]
