"No evidence has surfaced"
As a follow up to a recent post about the
search for weapons in Iraq, I found this quote from the
Washington Post:
Behind that story was an interesting arrangement. Under the terms of her accreditation, Miller wrote, "this reporter was not permitted to interview the scientist or visit his home. Nor was she permitted to write about the discovery of the scientist for three days, and the copy was then submitted for a check by military officials. Those officials asked that details of what chemicals were uncovered be deleted."
Since then, no evidence has surfaced to support these claims and the Alpha team is preparing to leave Iraq without having found weapons of mass destruction.
Yes, this was the story that CNN reported as fact, with a headline of "
Report: Iraq destroyed chemical weapons just before war".
