[Previous entry: "Guantanamo revisited"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "Fisk contagion"] 30 May 2003: "Quote of the Week"
This week's Economist contains the leader "Secret weapons", with the sub-headline "Did George Bush and Tony Blair wage war under false pretences?" One of the main problems with the evidence concerning Mr Hussein's WMD was always that it was both boring and complicated. Many of those who opposed the war never bothered to acquaint themselves with it; many who now allege that the proof was cooked up in London and Washington have forgotten it.The Economist tends to run leaders relating to actual articles, and while the leader is premium content, the article "Casus or casuistry?" is not. To be perfectly honest, the article doesn't tell anyone much that is actually new, but is sums the whole "where are the WMDs?" situation up nicely. |
