Ex-WMD Inspector: Politics Quashed Facts


Aussie weapons inspector says Bush lies continued for political reasons.

No Shit, Sherlock

Ex-WMD Inspector: Politics Quashed Facts - Yahoo! News:

"A year after Bush administration claims about Iraqi 'bioweapons trailers' were discredited by American experts, U.S. officials were still suppressing the findings, says a senior member of the CIA-led Iraq inspection team.

At one point, former U.N. arms inspector Rod Barton says, a CIA officer told him it was 'politically not possible' to report that the White House claims were untrue. In the end, Barton says, he felt 'complicit in deceit.'

Barton, an Australian biological weapons specialist, discusses the 2004 events in 'The Weapons Detective,' a memoir of his years as an arms inspector, being published Monday in Australia by Black Inc. Agenda."
