So, where are(were) those WMDs?

Since when is the network news more accurate than a high level official of an administration? Oh I forgot, since Dan Rather proved it beyond a reasonable doubt. Silly me, what was I thinking....

First of all, the article makes several seemingly salient points that have yet to be officially addressed by the administration.

Second; I'm not sure that either is "more accurate" than the other. It depends on the official, the news network, and, most importantly, THE INFORMATION. Since we can't be sure of either source, it would seem prudent to partially reserve judgment while waiting for the picture to become clearer. So far, the ABC has at least got my attention in that it appears to refer to PROOF of the fact. Rather than having to rely on their word, they have at least backed it up with a theory.

Dan Rather has nothing to do with it. As I hope you're aware, politicians and bureaucrats, themselves, aren't always pillars of integrity - particularly when there is an election less than a week away. Of course, I could always drag in the "absolute proof" of the Iraqi weapons program as 'proof' that the administration is lying in much the same way in which you decided to include Dan Rather; as a deliberate misdirection.

Nah... I think I'll take the high road and wait for the facts. When the administration addresses these claims, I'll evaluate their response. Until then...
