« UPI Quotes "First Class Nut Job" | Main | What He Said 3 » January 9, 2004What He Said 2Darren Kaplan is on a roll. First, he fisks a UPI story on an issue of international law (scroll down) and then he exposes duplicity at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The CEIP issued a report yesterday accusing the Bush administration of "systematically misrepresenting" the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. But it's a claim the CEIP itself was making back in 2002. Oh by the way, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace website used to have a number of publications available for downloading which detailed the threat represented by Iraq's WMD programs, but for some reason, nothing prior to June of 2003 is currently posted.Actually, one report from 2002, titled Deadly Arsenals, still is avialble online - and Kaplan quotes from that report just to show that the CEIP was claiming in 2002 that Rough estimates conclude that Iraq may have retained up to 600 metric tons of agents, including mustard gas, VX, and sarin. Approximately 25,000 rockets and 15,000 artillery shells with chemical agents also remain unaccounted for.Good job, Darren. If the CEIP report you linked to suddenly disappears from the CEIP website, don't worry: I downloaded it. Posted in Weapons of Mass Destruction

I don't have time to do it right now, but Darren, if you're reading this, please contact the folks at "www.thememoryhole.org". This is what the site exists for. Posted by: Michael Chaney at January 9, 2004 05:17 PMWhoa, boy, NPR rolled with this story all day yesterday. But, somehow, their reporters failed to mention that the Carnegie Endowment is a major subsidizer of its news programs. Shameful. Posted by: carter at January 9, 2004 11:00 PMPost a comment
