Well, I really can not say if this all was Casey's plot or who was involved, who knew what, etc. I think you can not either.
Also we have quite different perceptions of what further aid was given to Iraq (besides the samples). As stated before a proof for my claim ("direct military and scientific advice for the Iraqi WMD program") or your claim ("there was no further help, maybe some small-scale intelligence via satellite") seems to be very unlikely to find.
But after all we are quite close that there are dark spots on the American vest in this issue. We disagree about the size of the spots and nobody can hope to bring up solid proof on that (I could go on presenting links and non-official sources supporting my view for weeks - this would never be enough. This also works the other way around: I could claim that the Monterey Institute is not an totally independent institution and so on...).
So if there is nothing really new to learn I will quit this argument. Is this ok with you?
