The Knight Report: More fighting throughout Iraq and controversial
Iranian claims of deceptive weapons activities in Iraq cast
a new light on President Bush's statements during the press
conference. Is the US planting WMD in Iraq?
Bush: "Even knowing what I know today about the stockpiles
of weapons, I still would have called upon the world to deal
with Saddam Hussein... We'll find out the truth on the weapons...
They could still be there. They could be hidden..." Who
is playing Deception and Denial now?

Jamail's articles on Znet
