"Henry Kisor" wrote in message ... This is the actual language from the actual report (I got it from the BBC, but the New York Times, Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times also had it): "There is an extensive, yet fragmentary and circumstantial body of evidence suggesting that Saddam pursued a strategy to maintain a capability to return to WMD after sanctions were lifted... " Perhaps "fragmentary," "circumstantial" and :suggesting" don't quite add up to a done deal. Real researchers use language like that. They know enough to know that they don't know everything. "Circumstantial," by the way, is the strongest evidence, contrary to common usage. Compare the language of real researchers with the complete certitude of those who have a political agenda. |
