Blair taps defender of Iraq intel to lead Britainâs spy agency
EFL
The author of a disputed British intelligence dossier on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction that laid out the case for war was chosen Thursday to head Britainâs MI6 spy agency.
I think this speak volumes. First, it shows that Blair is confident that the intelligence gathered prior to the war was sound and accurate. Second, this is reinforced by Bush keeping Tenet on at the CIA. In the long run the weapons will be found. They may surface in Syria, Iran, or in an attack against innocent civilians. But they will be found. Just a day ago, outside of Baltimore, live munitions were found in area that used to be a "construction site once used to tear apart decommissioned Navy ships." If the United States occasionally cannot account for all its munitions for decades then it seems resonable that finding WMDs that have been hidden by a miniacal dictator will surface.
