#1 Of course not.

These aren't the WMD's you're looking for.

You don't need to see his identification.

He can move along now.

#2 Words to the wise:

cum grano salis

(magnus)

I'd feel better if it were DIA doing this. The CIA has bitten the weenie way too many times to trust their work without DoD corroboration anymore. And nevermind the Syrian nerve agent in Sudan. It didnt happen, because the CIA says so.

#4 "...no evidence Iraq hid such weapons in Syria before the U.S. invasion..."
On the other hand, Syria hiding such weapons in Lebanon after the U.S. invasion began -- that's another story.

"...found no Iraqi officials with direct knowledge of a transfer of WMD..."
The Sunni Triangle is still awash in beheaders, bullets, and IEDs -- who's gonna spill the beans now?

#5 'd feel better if it were DIA doing this.

I'm with OS. I'd much sooner rely on the Department of Indian Affairs than the Central Intelligence Agency. If it is not in an electronic intercept or satellite image, the CIA could not find it if it was as big as a Chinese embassy.
